Adjoining the church of the Trinatarians is an ancient Gothic cloister. It belonged to the monastery of the Trinitarians, founded in 1248. The Trinitarian order aimed at freeing prisoners in the Holy Land. The habit of the order was a white coat, bearing a red and blue cross.
The monastery of the Trinitarians was abolished in 1783 by the emperor Joseph II of Austria. The cloister was partly destroyed then. In 1955 it was finally restored.
