The church building is the first purely baroque church in today's Slovakia and was originally part of the building complex of the old Tyrnau University, hence the alternative name University Church. It was built by Jesuits and is considered the largest and most artistically significant building of the Counter Reformation in Slovakia. The building was financed by the palatine Nikolaus Esterházy and commissioned in 1629 from the Italian architects Antonio and Pietro Spazzi. The unfinished church was consecrated in 1637.
