History
There was already a Minorite monastery in the town in the second half of the 14th century, but it was destroyed in 1547 as a result of the Reformation. The monastery, which still exists today, was founded in 1692. On 14 August 1703, the troops of Rákóczi Ferenc II occupied Nagybánya and expelled the Minorites, believing them to be supporting the Austrians. The monastery and the church were burnt down during the siege of the town. At the end of 1710, the Minorite father Kelemen Didák was sent to Nagybánya, who revived monastic life and was of great merit in teaching, nursing and evangelisation. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1776, their school continued to function here. In 1948 the monks were expelled by the communists, but they returned. The building houses private apartments and various municipal offices.
