History

The building was the site of the Baroque church of the Franciscan order, built between 1733 and 1736, which was one of the oldest churches in the town. It was demolished in 1911 for structural reasons and because the boulevard was being built at that time. The Credit Bank building was designed by the architect Székely László in the Hungarian Art Nouveau style and completed in 1912.
