It was constructed between 1280 and 1297 and consecrated by King Andrew II . It was turned into a Renaissance church in the 17th and into a Baroque church in the 18th century. Selected persons were knighted here in the 16th - 19th centuries each time when kings of Royal Hungary /the Kingdom Of Hungary were crowned in Pressburg (now Bratislava). Two chapels and a Franciscan monastery from the 14th century are adjacent to the church. One of the chapels, the St. John the Evangelist Chapel, contains a crypt of the family of Jakub , an important mayor of Pressburg (Bratislava), modelled after the French Sainte Chapelle . |
