History

The monastery was built between 1716 and 1736. It was used by the Franciscans until 1789, when it was handed over to the Piarist order, who used the church until its demolition in 1911, and opened a school in the monastery building. The monastery was taken over by the town in 1909 and a conservatory was established there. It is now the site of the Folk Arts School.
