History

The church was built between 1465 and 1485 in Gothic style on the former Romanesque church. Its tower gained its Renaissance appearance by 1579 after the fire in 1560. The church was reconstructed in neo-Gothic style between 1883 and 1886 led by the architect Storno Ferenc. The tower serves as a lookout and can be visited by tourists.

The statue of Virgin Mary on the side altar is from the 15th or 16th century. The neo-Gothic main altar was made in the 19th century and there is a statue of Virgin Mary on it from the 15th or 16th century.
