History

The Classicist church was built in the 18th century. Its tower dating back to the 19th century is the highest point of the town with its 63 meters height. During the siege in 1849 in the Hungarian War of Independence it was used as a watch tower.

The church organ was created by Bohák János from Vienna.

In the rear of the building the frame of the Komárom Gate of the demolished fortress of Érsekújvár was set up. In the church courtyard there are gravestones from the 18th and19th century.
