Order of St. Elizabeth was invited to the city in 1738 by Archbishop Esztergom Esztergom. They cared for orphans, the sick and the poor in Bratislava. Over the next four years, a church, monastery buildings, and a hospital were built. The complex included a courtyard and large gardens. On November 19.1743, the first service took place in the consecrated church. Church of St. Elizabeth of Hungary is one of the important architectural monuments on the outskirts of the historic zone of Bratislava. This one-story Baroque building is the work of Viennese architect Franz Anton Pilgram.
The facade of the temple is divided into four levels. On the first - the entrance portal, on the second a large window and sculptures of Saints Stephen and Ladislav in niches. On the third is the coat of arms of the Archbishop of Esterhazy under a large hat. On the fourth floor - a sculpture of St. Elizabeth with a beggar at her feet.
The author of the sculptures is a prominent late Baroque sculptor Ludovit Gode, a student of Georg Raphael Donner. He created figures on the facade of the church and on the facade of the monastery. He also took part in the design of the interior of the temple.
To the left of the church is a three-story monastery building. Its portal is decorated with sculptures of Saints Elizabeth, Joseph and Imrich. The interior design was commissioned by one of the prominent Austrian artists of the time, Paul Troger. He later became rector of the Vienna Academy of Arts. This is his only work in modern Slovakia. The monastery complex was significantly destroyed during World War II as a result of Allied bombing.
