Chiefly thanks to the reformation and the prestigious Calvinist College, founded in 1538, Debrecen has been the intellectual and cultural centre of the surrounding area since the 16th century. {{Citation needed|date=March 2012}} Over the centuries, the College was transformed into a University and its intellectual life developed a sphere of influence between [[Eger]] and [[Oradea]] (Hu: ''Nagyvárad'', now in [[Romania]]). In 1949-1950, several departments of the University were shut down, due to Communist takeover, with many students and teachers being expelled. The [[University of Debrecen]], as it is now called is still widely recognized work of architecture (mostly thanks to its main building). The university has many departments and is a major research facility in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unideb.hu/portal/en/node/19 |title=History of the University | Debreceni Egyetem |publisher=Unideb.hu |date=2000-01-01 |accessdate=2012-12-25}}</ref> The University is well known for the cactus research laboratory in the botanic gardens behind the main building. |
