Between 1718 and 1723, on the left bank of the Timis River, about 300 m from the river, the new city (German Lugoj), was built the monastery Convent of the Order of St. Francis of Assisi. The building which exists today, much altered, was built between 1733 and 1735 by the monks. The first tower was built on 16 pillars of oak. In 1805 rose the second tower and then the church gets all four bells. In 1828 the clock tower was installed and the organ dates from 1832.
