History

The church was built between 1909 and 1913 in Hungarian Art-Nouveau style according to the plans of Lechner Ödön. The mosaics decorating the facade and the tiles of the roof were manufactured by the

Zsolnay-factory in Pécs (Hungary).

The Czechoslovak invaders removed the white marble relief of Queen Elisabeth from the church and placed it on the neighboring parish building.
