  Τhe church was built in the first half of the 18th century in the spirit of the Baroque style at the site of the former parish church of St. Michala. The pattern of St. Peter in Vienna. It was built by the Ritual of Trinitarians, consecrated to one of its founders, St. John of Matthew. The church has an oval disposition with a posterior axis and a concavely folded backdrop of the façade, thus incorporating the dynamic Baroque line. The church towers did not originally have the current low roofs, but the high baroque roofs, which are depicted in several city's old city towers. The oval church of the church is vaulted by a dome decorated with illusive frescoes by the Italian painter and decorator Antonio Galli Bibien (1736-1740). On the massive main altar of AG Bussi there is an altar painting depicting the founders of the St. John of Matthew and Felix Valois, how to buy slaves from Turkish captivity. The painting is a work of František Xaver Palka from the period after 1745. The statues of St. Agnes and St. The catarins on the sides of the altar are attributed to Bavarian sculptor Johann Baptist Straub.

  A very ornate interior in this Baroque-style Catholic Church. It was built on the site of the old church of Saint Michael which was demolished in 1529 during the Ottoman wars. The design is thought to be copied from St. Peter’s Church in Vienna. It has a main altar with several side altars with the main portal richly decorated in Rococo style, celebrating the holy Trinity. The paintings behind the main inside altars are really amazing and need time to be appreciated. From 2003 to 2009 Church was the cathedral of the military Ordinariate of Slovakia.
