The Franciscans were invited to Zsolna by Esterházy Pál, Palatine of Hungary, in 1701. The church was built between 1723 and 1731 in Baroque style. The monastery was built in 1730. The Chapel of Loretto was built between 1731 and 1732. The main altar was made by Erdődy György in 1760. The dual organ dates back to the first half of the 18th century.
