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.
