This pre-Romanesque church is also the oldest in Novigrad.
Ban Butko Kurjaković built in 1393 the church of St. Kate and the monastery of the Friars Minor.
It is presumed that on the site of today's church, once existed a Benedictine Abbey with two names (St. Paul and/or St. Kate) which was demolished in the 10th century.
The church was surrounded by the former graveyard, which was a burial site until 1958.
The original church had been demolished and rebuilt on several occasions.
