Construction started on February 26, 1881. The storm of 1882 destroyed much of the construction site and work had to start all over again. Because the project was financially in troubles, the storm had caused a lot of damage, the east side was made smaller a few metres. The building was finally finished on July 8, 1883, a few months before the Hurbanova Town Hall was finished. The building survived the 1884 fire, just like the town hall.

  • Construction started on February 26, 1881. The storm of 1882 destroyed much of the construction site and work had to start all over again. Because the project was financially in troubles, the storm had caused a lot of damage, the east side was made smaller a few metres. The building was finally finished on July 8, 1883, a few months before the Hurbanova Town Hall was finished. The building survived the 1884 fire, just like the town hall. In 1923, the monastery was abandoned and the major tunnel system underneath the building began collapsing. The building sank over 5 metres and a layer of sand was put upon it, so nobody could see it anymore. The roof collapsed and the building was totally flooded with sand. People forgot about the building. On 5th of August, 2008, archeologists dug up the remainings of the old monastery adjacent to the Saint Urban's Cathedral. Though the monastery had sunken over 5 metres it was still in a very good shape. Mayor Ben Opať started to renovate the building to make a tourist attraction of it. Therefore, the monastery had to be heightened to the current street level of Hurbanova. The building was raised using over fifty jacks and hung in the air for a week. Then, tens of trucks carrying sand arrived and filled the huge gap. The building was lowered and there was a perfect fit. The building was ready for the restoration. The roof and windows were gone, so they had to be manufactured and put into position. Because the delivery time was August 16, the people working on it only had four days to work on it. After just eleven days the building was already open for the public.
