History
Gyöngyösi György, canon of Várad (1735-1760) was a bedridden patient from 1750. He wanted to establish a poorhouse for the sick. Bishop Forgách Pál of Várad offered to settle the Brothers of Mercy in the town and in 1753 he also donated a plot of land on which the canon then began building a church. In 1760, the first members of the Brothers of Mercy arrived at the invitation of Bishop Patachich Ádám. The convent was built in 1763. Construction of the hospital began in 1766, and in 1769 a pharmacy was added. Between 1793 and 1795 the hospital was enlarged and the monastery was substantially rebuilt.
At its gate are three stone statues of St John of God, St John of Nepomuk and St Florian.
