Pápa - Reformed College

 
The Reformed College, was built in 1894-95. The college, founded in 1531, then moved to a new home from the Late Baroque house at PetOfi utca 13, where it had been since 1797; prior to 1797 it had been housed in the Arcade House. The college has produced many of the great names in Hungarian history, including the poet laureate Sándor PetOfi (1823-49) and the Romantic novelist Mór Jókai (1825-1904). The college still takes students as well as housing the library of the Reformed Church of Transdanubia (exhibition on the history of the college).

On Március 15 tér stands the new Reformed Church built in 1931-34.
