History

The construction of the chapel was ordered by the Cistercian monk Columbai Ferenc, and it took place between 1311 and 1325. It is the oldest Gothic building in Pozsony. The Cistercians used it until the 16th century, later the Capuchins occupied it. The facade was reconstructed in Classicist style in 1840 according to the plans of Feigler Ignác.
