The Pope sent Franciscan monks to the Gyula manor in 1410. The Franciscan church and monastery were in existence from 1420 to 1566. The monks fled during the Ottoman attacks of 1566, after which the monastery and the church fell into disrepair. The Gothic church, once 35 metres long and 10 metres wide, was excavated in 1930 and reconstructed in the 1960s. Today, only the apse and some of the cells attached to it can be seen. The Franciscan church is the resting place of some notable Hungarians, such as János Corvin's daughter, Elisabeth, and his wife, Beatrix Frangepán. The fenced garden, where the ruins are located is open to visitors every day of the year.
