History

The Franciscans were invited to Fülek in 1470 and in 1484. The monastery was founded at that time.

The construction of the late Gothic church and the monastery was completed in 1514. In 1554 the town was occupied by the Turks, who destroyed the church. Later a mosque was raised on its site. In 1593 Fülek was liberated from the Turks and the mosque was turned into a church and was expanded. In 1682 the united army of Thököly lmre and the Turks destroyed the town together with the church. The church that can be seen today was built between 1694 and 1728 in Baroque style with the contribution of Count Koháry István II, who was the Judge Royal of Hungary. The monastery was built between 1699 and 1727, and it was also contributed by Count Koháry István II.
