History
The Capuchin order arrived in Nagyvárad in 1727. The monastery was built in 1742. In 1836 it burned down in a fire. It was given its present form after the fire, when Roman Catholic Bishop Lajcsák Ferenc spent all his fortune on the restoration of the monastery and the church. After his death he was buried in the church. It was rebuilt in 1837 in the neoclassical style according to the plans of Barthel Barthel. Horváth Szilveszter, the last Capuchin Father, died in 1972.
