History

The church was built around 1280. It was transformed to a three-nave Baroque church in the second half of the 17th century.

Its facade got Classicist appearance at the end of the 18th century. In the 19th century the church was reconstructed in Historicist style.

It has a late Gothic baptistery (font) from the beginning of the 16th century, a Gothic statue of Virgin Mary and a richly decorated Baroque main altar of St. Nicholas from the second half of the 18th century. On the two sides of the main altar the sculptures of St. Stephen of Hungary and St. László of Hungary can be seen.

The church has the following side altars: Baroque altars of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Our Lady of Sorrows from the second half of the 18th century, the Renaissance altar of the Holy Cross from the beginning of the 17th century, the Baroque altar of The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne from the 18th century, the Baroque altar of St. Florian from the first half of the 18th century and the Baroque altar of St. Anthony from around 1730. The church also has rare late Gothic gravestones.
