History
Originally a three-nave Romanesque basilica built in the early 13th century. At the end of the 15th century, it underwent a major Gothic rebuilding. It was severely damaged during the Tatar raids of 1658 and 1661. The bell tower was built in 1742. The enclosure wall and the Gothic chapel within it date from the 16th century, but probably have Romanesque foundations.
