Willaim de Burgo founded the Franciscan friary in Galway in 1296 and in 1483 a school of advanced theology was instituted there. In 1657 the friary was destroyed and the church was turned into a court house. The present court house stands on the same site. In 1781 the church was rebuilt and around 1836 the present chuch was opened but not consecrated until 1849.
