The Carmelites settled down in Győr in 1697. Their church was built by the plans of lay brother Athanasius Wittwer from the same order, between 1721 and 1725. The monastery was completed in 1732. The main facade of the building shows Italian-like character, behind which a domed nave of elliptical shape and a square sanctuary can be seen. Mario Altomonte painted the main altarpiece. The "Black Mary" statue from 1717 stands in the famous Loreto-chapel of the building complex.
