History

The statue of Bishop St Nicholas, the patron saint of the church, can be seen on the facade. The dilapidated buildings in the parish courtyard were built in Gothic style, and there were paintings here which have been eroded by acidity. About 20 m west of the entrance to the parish, archaeologist Tatár Árpád found on 6 August 2012 the upper part of a Renaissance door or window frame, which had simply been removed from somewhere and laid out on the pavement.
