The first Franciscans came to Bolzano during the lifetime of Saint Francis, probably in 1221. The founding of the monastery at Kaltern should be seen in this context. Claudia de Medici, Princess of Tyrol and patron of the Franciscan movement, gave the ruins of Rottenburg Castle, which had been destroyed at the beginning of the 15th century, to the Franciscans in 1639. At the beginning of the 18th century, the church was expanded to its present state. The miraculous image of Saint Anthony of Padua on the right side altar is of great significance for piety.
