The neo-baroque church and Franciscan convent was constructed with the initiative of József Pehm, better known as Cardinal József Mindszenty at the place of the stables belonging to the former cavalrymen’s barracks. When it was built, it was offered in honour of Charles IV, on whose consecration his widow, Queen Zita was also present.
The operating licence was withdrawn by the state from the Franciscan order in the summer of 1950, and therefore from the local Franciscans as well. The order got the cloister back in 1990, and Otto Habsurg- the son of the beatified Charles IV- participated at the festive opening ceremony, too.
The memory of the royal family is cherished on a painting on one of the church’s walls.
