History
The Piarist Order arrived in Nyitra in 1698 in order to teach poor children. The monastery was built between 1701 and 1702. Between 1702 and 1741 a complex consisting of a church, a grammar school and a college was built from the contributions of Bishop Mattyasovszky László and others. The church that can be seen today was constructed between 1742 and 1789 at the initiative of the rector Nemcsényi Adolf.
The Piarist grammar school of Nyitra operated from 1698 to 1919. In 1919 the Czechoslovak invaders drove away the Piarists and expropriated the buildings. In 1992 the Piarists recovered the buildings and opened a grammar school.
After 1940 the church was marred by ahistorical and inappropriate frescos. These depict the factionary church of Pribina (the prince of Nyitra of unknown origin in the first half of the 9th century), the arrival of Cyril and Methodius in the Great Moravian "Empire", and the inauguration of two Slovak bishops in 1921 after the Czechoslovak invasion of northern Hungary.
