History
The building, popularly called the "hospital", is located on the left side of the Váh on the way from the bridge to the center of the town of Námestí sv. Cyril and Methodius. In the years 1351 - 1365, Mikuláš Kont and his wife Klára had it built together with the church dedicated to the Holy Spirit. The originally Gothic appearance of the hospital and the church have not been preserved, as it was modified in the 18th century by Jozef Erdődy.

The building, popularly called the "hospital", is located on the left side of the Váh on the way from the bridge to the center of the town of Námestí sv. Cyril and Methodius. In the years 1351 - 1365, Mikuláš Kont and his wife Klára had it built together with the church dedicated to the Holy Spirit. The originally Gothic appearance of the hospital and the church have not been preserved, as it was modified in the 18th century by Jozef Erdődy.

The hospital served as a shelter for the sick and poorest inhabitants of the medieval city, and the church provided religious education for the hospital's staff. From the Middle Ages, it served as a shelter for the sick and poor, later as an old house and a hospital building. At present, after extensive reconstruction, church ceremonies are being carried out in the church and the parish office is located in the rest of the building. The church has a preserved Gothic building core, a rectangular floor plan with one corner pillar (originally there were four). The most architecturally significant are the original windows in the south wall of the church. The west window has a simple three-leaf tracery and the east window is decorated with a rich floral motif tracery.
