The town's most precious historic monument is situated in Barátszer, the oldest area of the town.
The Nagyboldogasszony ("Virgin Mary") parish church has Gothic elements in its style, suggesting the atmosphere of bygone times. The process of building of the Pauline (Piarist) monastery was begun in the 13th century, the church tower dates from 1501. However, it burned down during the Tartar invasion in 1566, and after the restoration it gained an Early Baroque aspect.
The counterforted sanctuary, the cross vault of the cloisters and some elements of the tower are beautiful reminders of the former existence of the church. The interior of the church has richly ornamented Baroque altars and pulpits.
Address: Satoraljaujhely, 10. Deák street
