History

After the Reformation, Catholics returned to the town in 1687. In 1691, Jesuits arrived with the occupying Austrian imperial forces.

The church was built between 1726 and 1733.

The stained glass made in Budapest dates from the early 20th century. The mural behind the high altar was painted in 1777 by the Austrian artist Anton Steinwald. The other paintings were made in 1904 by Ludwig Kandler from Munich. The organ is by Carl Hesse from Vienna (1860).
