The first Franciscan monks arrived in Veszprem at the beginning of the 1680s. Their first sanctuary, a small house and chapel built on the site where the today's church and monastery stand, burnt down along with the whole Castle.
The building works of the new monastery started in 1722 whereas the next year the monks began to build a church as well. The monastery was enlarged by another storey and was connected to the church. Italian pictures decorate the walls of the refectory since more than 200 years.
The significance of the church is that the poet and monk Pal Anyos was buried in its crypt.
