History
The church was built in 1272. It was remodeled in the Gothic style in the 14th century. The church was taken over by the Calvinists in the 16th century, who drove away the Franciscan monks as well.
Perényi Ferenc, the Calvinist landlord of the town, became involved in the Wesselényi conspiracy.
He escaped the execution through the intercession of his Catholic mother, but he had to pay 200,000 forints to the treasury as a ransom, and he also had to convert to the Catholic faith and build a Franciscan monastery with a church. The Franciscans were then recalled in 1668 by the Perényi family. The interior of the church was significantly rebuilt in the 18th century.
When the Catholics recovered the church in the 19th century, it was already without a roof. It was restored by Bishop Hám János of Szatmár.
The church was closed by the Soviets in 1959 and the building was used as a corporate warehouse. During the next thirty years, Catholic believers could only hold their ceremonies in the cemetery chapel. Finally, in 1989, Franciscan monks from Hungary reorganized the parish. After the believers renovated the church, Cardinal Paskai László, Archbishop of Esztergom, consecrated it in 1991.
