Abstract

The study discusses the donation of the Royal House of Kassa to the Jesuit Order, presenting the alternative ideas preceding it, the road to the extension and handover of the building, and the political-denominational conflicts surrounding the transaction. Taking possession of the building marked a milestone on the road to becoming a college with greater institutional autonomy for the Jesuits, who were still operating in residence format in the early 1650s. The royal donation also meant the relocation of the seat of the Royal Captain-general in Upper Hungary, which is often forgotten in the literature, as well as the purchase of the Bornemissza House for this purpose.
