History
The Capuchin monks settled down in Pozsony at the end of the 17th century. They started to build the church in 1708 from the contribution of Countess Eleonóra Terézia. The first mess was conducted by Archbishop Keresztély Ágost of Esztergom in 1709. The monastery was built between 1711 and 1717 and was consecrated by Bishop Erdődy László of Nyitra. The monastery was expanded in 1727. The church had to be rebuilt between 1735 and 1737, because its foundation sank. Its Baroque main altar was created in 1737 by the Capuchin Father Berthold, and it depicts St. Stephen of Hungary in the company of his son St. Imre as he offers the crown to Virgin Mary, patron saint of Hungary.
The side altars of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Anthony of Padua were painted by Anton Karl Rosier in 1737. The organ loft and the new organ was made between 1819 and 1824.
The church was reconstructed to its current Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Gothic style between 1860 and 1861 according to the plans of Feigler Ignác Jr. The sculpture of St. Stephen of Hungary stands in the niche above the entrance. There is a Baroque lmmaculata column in front of the church from 1725.
