History
The Franciscan monastery was established after the Mongol invasion in 1241-1242. The construction of the church was ordered by King László IV of Hungary in 1290. It was consecrated in 1297 in the presence of King Andrew III of Hungary. The two-story chapel of St. John on the northern side of the church dates back to 1380. After the earthquakes in 1586 and in 1590, the church was reconstructed in Renaissance style by 1619. There is a Chapel of Loretto on its northern side from 1708. Its western facade comes from 1745 and its furnishing was made in the 18th century. Its main altar was made in the 18th century and it contains the statues of St. Stephen of Hungary and his son, St. lmre.
The construction of the tower had been continuous since 1410 and it gained its current form in 1897 according to the plans of Schulek Frigyes. Its original Gothic spire can be found in a town park in Pozsonyligetfalu, south of the Danube.
From 1563 to 1830 the kings of Hungary knighted the worthy nobles to knights of the golden spur after the coronation ceremony in this church.
