History
The Capuchin order arrived in Nagyvárad in 1727. The monastery and the church were built between 1734 and 1742. In the fire of 1836, both the monastery and the church were burnt to ashes. It was restored to its present form after the fire, when Roman Catholic Bishop Lajcsák Ferenc donated his entire fortune to the restoration of the monastery and church. After his death he was buried in the church. The church was rebuilt in the neoclassical style according to the plans of Barthel György. The walls of the church are decorated with frescoes by Szilágyi János and Doboczy József, and two paintings that were removed during the fire. Horváth Szilveszter, the last Capuchin Father, died in 1972.
