History
Initially it belonged to the Bulgarian Custody, and in 1535 to the Custody of Borosjenő. In 1400 the Franciscans moved to Hátszeg, but in 1429 the monastery is mentioned again. In 1535 it was inhabited by eleven monks. According to local tradition, the monastery ceased to exist in 1558 and the Franciscans returned to the town in 1725. By 2010, the new Orthodox cathedral of the town was built next to the ruins of the monastery, without the required excavations.
