History
The construction started in 1852 at the initiative of Bishop Palugyay Imre. The church was completed in 1861 in neo-Romanesque style. The main altar depicts Saint Imre, Saint Vincent de Paul, Virgin Mary and Saint Elisabeth.
The feast of Virgin Mary of the Sickle is held in memory of the event when the pregnant Mary visited Elisabeth, who was also pregnant with John the Baptist. The liturgical name of the holiday is "The visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary". It was traditionally held on July 2 from the 13th century. Later the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) modified the date to May 31. But in Hungary it is still held on July 2, and since this day is also the beginning of the harvest season, the feast bears the name "Virgin Mary of the Sickle" in Hungary.
