History

This is the oldest church in Nagybánya. It was built in the 15th century. In 1547, it was taken over by the Calvinists, together with the two other Catholic churches (St. Stephen's and St. Martin's).

From 1703 to 1711, during the Hungarian War of Independence led by Rákóczi Ferenc II, it was again in the hands of the Calvinists. When the Catholics took the churches back after the war, only this one was in a usable state.
