The Franciscans built a monastery and a church in Eger as early as the 13th century. They had to leave the city in 1596 after the Turkish conquest. After the reconquest on December 18, 1687, the church, which had meanwhile been used as a mosque, was handed over to the Minorites.

This church collapsed in 1712 and the order was given to build a new church. The foundation stone was laid in March 1758. The construction was supervised by János Falk and continued after his death until completion in 1767 by János Nitsmann. The designs for the church came from Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, one of the most important architects of the Bohemian late Baroque from the German artist family Dientzenhofer. In 1773 the church was consecrated.

The decoration inside and outside the church followed in the years that followed. The main altarpiece was created in 1770 by Johann Lucas Kracker. The vaults were painted with scenes from the life of St. Anthony by Márton Raindl, a painter from Bratislava.

A used baroque organ was first installed in the new church. It was brought from the old church and is currently in St. Orban's Church in Gyöngyös. The case of today's organ comes from the cathedral of Eger, in which a new, 17-voice organ was installed by Ludwig Mooser in 1856 (Wikipedia).

This church is located in Eger on Dobó Square. It is the most famous place in Eger. It is actually the center of the city. The center of life in Eger. We can easily get here by typing it into the GPS. This is just a terminal station in the urban montage of Eger where you can take good photos and eat well, but in reality it is the real experience that cycling in Eger means and provides. I am thinking of urban MTB in these lines. It is amazing how suitable the city is for this kind of sport.
This is the best way to get to know the city's every nook and cranny. All this while keeping the essence of history alive.
