Căpleni, Roman Catholic church

"The town bears the name of the clan Kaplony, and their descendants, the Károlyis, owned the village until recent times. Local tradition puts the establishment of the monastery to 1080, but the earliest references to it are only from the 14th century, and its exact monastic affiliation is not known. Sándor Károlyi re-established the monastery for Franciscan Friars and the related transformation of the building was completed in 1740. The building was damaged in the 1834 earthquake, and Miklós Ybl rebuilt it in a neo-Romanesque style. Its consecration took place in 1848, and the Károlyis had a new family tomb built, with Romanesque carvings built into its steps. The crypt is currently the resting place of thirty-six members of the Károlyi family, and the oldest sarcophagi were made at the beginning of the 1600s."
