The Church and Monastery of Merciful Brethren –
The Church of Trinity
The original evangelic church was built in the
middle of the 17th century in Potočná Street but it was appointed to
the monastic order of Jesuits in the same century. The Carmelites
settled down in this church in 1700. They built the monastery and
founded a pharmacy. After the annulment of the monastic order of
Carmelites at the end of the 18th century, the Merciful Brethren
settled down here. The monastery was used as a hospital, sanatorium
and school. The Merciful Brethren were active here to 1950. They
treated the sick and lonely and gave medicaments to ill people in
their pharmacy. Their devoted services were appreciated especially
during wars and epidemics.
