History

In the past, the village of Szentpéter existed in this area of the town. According to documents dated 1416, its church was built in honour of Saints Peter and Paul. The present neo-Gothic church was built between 1844 and 1848 on the remains of the former church. Its interior paintings were painted by Szatmáry Károly in 1926.
