History

It was built around 1280 in Gothic style. Its altar of Virigin Mary was made in the 1470's and 80's. In the middle of the main altar stands the statue of St. Nicholas with the statues of St. Stephen of Hungary and St. László of Hungary on its sides. In the 15th century the Pongrácz family surrounded the church with fortifications. The church was reconstructed in Baroque style in the 18th century. The fortifications were demolished after 1945.
