History
The church was built in Gothic style between 1382 and 1393 next to the hospital with the contribution of King Louis I of Hungary. It was originally dedicated to the Holy Cross.
On the keystone of the arch above the organ a mining symbol is carved: a hoe and a pickaxe crossed before a shield, and there is a cross above it. This proves that the church was attended by the families of miners. On the keystone of the central arch, the coat of arms of Hungary can be seen with ten lilies. On the keystone of the front arch the coat of arms of the House of Anjou can be seen with two lilies, as King Louis I was of the House of Anjou.
The church burned down in 1707, and afterwards the tower was rebuilt from stone. The entire interior of the church was renovated in five years. On the ground floor of the bell tower a main entrance was made for the church. After the reconstruction the church was dedicated to St. Elisabeth of Hungary in 1712. The church got new furnishings between 1902 and 1906.
