History
In 1323, the universal convention of the order in Barcelona allowed the Dominicans to settle in Brassó. Their church and monastery, which stood on the site of the present church, were first mentioned in 1342. After the Reformation in the 16th century, it was used by the Hungarian Lutheran community. In 1711 it became the property of the Franciscan Order. In 1716 it became the property of the Jesuits. In 1766 the Gothic monastery church was demolished. In 1773, the Catholic parish priest Ignatius Wagenseil asked Empress Maria Theresa for help to rebuild it. On 3 June 1776, under the parish priest Uzoni Béldi János, the reconstruction began, based on the plans of the architect Karl Joseph Lamasch. It was consecrated on 29 September 1782 by Count Battyány Ignác, Bishop of Transylvania. In 1840 the Roman Catholic grammar school was established. The stained glass windows were made in Budapest between 1891 and 1894. The monumental cross at the entrance was erected in 1782.
