History

The church was built between 1584 and 1585 in late Gothic style. In 1605 Homonnai Drugeth Bálint, the commander of Bocskai István, gave the church to the Protestants after he occupied the town. It had to be nearly completely rebuilt in 1612. In 1633 Archbishop Pázmány Péter of Esztergom renovated the church. After the Turks occupied Érsekújvár, the church was used as a minaret between 1633 and 1685. In 1693 Archbishop Széchényi György repaired the church. In 1787 Archbishop Batthiany György renovated the church. In 1877 Archbishop Simor János of Esztergom ordered the renovation of the church in neo-Classicist style and after its completion he dedicated it to the Holy Cross.
