A St. Laurentius church was mentioned several times as early as the 14th century. Gabriel von Verona, then vicar of the Austrian province of the Order, founded a Franciscan Observant monastery on the site around 1440, according to other sources after 1460, on the basis of a donation from the Habsburgs. The single-nave, late Gothic church was dedicated to the Mother of God and St. Laurentius and was rebuilt after a fire in 1509. On September 26, 1529, the Turks destroyed the monastery with the church, killing 22 monks. Neither the church nor the monastery were rebuilt.
