History
The church was built in 1728 as a cemetery chapel, and was the Capuchin church until 1742. Between 1827 and 1842 it was enlarged by Bishop Lajcsák Ferenc. From the 1920s it belonged to the Greek Catholic Church. In 1948 the Greek Catholic Church was forced to merge into the Orthodox Church.
