History
The church was built between 1896-1901 on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of the arrival of the Hungarians, based on the plans of Ybl Miklós in neo-Romanesque style. Temesvár was founded and populated by Hungarians until the Turkish occupation in 1552. It is the largest Roman Catholic church in Temesvár. It became the second Roman Catholic church in the parish of Gyárváros (Factory town), the first one having been given over to the Greek Catholics.
Its towers are 65 m high, the central dome is 45 m high. The organ was made by the master Leopold Wegenstein from Temesvár. The church has a capacity of 3000 people.
