The Roman Catholic church, formerly the church of the Piarist monastery, dates back to the 18th century. The gymnasium founded in Bistriţa in 1717 was the first Piarist school in Transylvania. In that year, General Stephan Steinville bought the land previously owned by the Dominicans and brought the Piarists to the city. The church was built by the Piarists from 1781 onwards on the site of a building that was destroyed by fire in 1758 and demolished in 1779. The church was built in the Viennese Baroque style according to plans by the master engineer Paul Schmidt with financial support from the Viennese imperial court, which wanted to strengthen Catholicism in Transylvania. The work was led by the architect Anton Türk and completed in the spring of 1787, as evidenced by the inscription on the façade.
