The Church of the Annunciation of the Lord and the Monastery of the Friar Franciscan Friars (the Franciscan Church) are originally a Gothic complex, later rebuilt, in the old town of Bratislava. The church is historically the oldest preserved religious building in the Slovak capital.
The complex of the Merciful Brothers, which comprise a church, monastery and hospital, dates from the end of the 17th century, and was modelled on a Viennese monastery.
