History

The first church was built by the Norbertines in the first half of the 13th century and was destroyed by the Turks in 1552.

The church was rebuilt in 1734 by the Jesuits in Renaissance-Baroque style. Its two side altars (Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady of Lourdes) are from the 20th century. The church has a statue of Virgin Mary from the 16th century.
