History

The church was built in the first half of the 18th century as a church of the Pauline monks. It was probably designed by the Pauline Father Vép Máté. In 1786, the Order was banned by Emperor Joseph II, the brothers were evicted and the archives of the Order were destroyed. At that time the church was still unfinished, the spires of the two towers were still not in place. It was then used as a storehouse, and in 1808 it was taken over by the Premonstratensian Order, which was restored in 1802. The altar was erected in 1772 in honour of the Holy Trinity by Trencsényi Mária Magdolna, wife of Laczkovics László, vice ispán of Birhar.
