History

The church was built between 1785 and 1788 in Zopf style. Its tower was erected in 1824. A plaque was unveiled in 2007 in memory of the Hungarians, who were deported to Bohemia in 1947 and also who were expelled from their homeland because of their nationality.

There is a memorial stone in front of the church in memory of the two Protestant preachers (Czeglédi Péter and Rimaszombati Kis János) from Léva, who were sentenced to serve on the galleys. The memorial was unveiled in 2016.
