History

On the site of the present parish church of St Peter and St Paul, there was a church built during the reign of the House of Árpád, which was already listed in the papal tithe registers of 1333 and 1334. The church was rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 15th century. The date 1680 on the church tower indicates the date of repair and extension. A related date is 1681, when Archbishop Vitus Pilutius of Marianopolis consecrated two new side altars to the Virgin Mary and St Stephen of Hungary. The Gothic church was demolished because of its dilapidated state and small size. Between 1795 and 1805 a new church was built using the stones of the old church at the expense of the parish. In 1823 the tower was also raised.
