History

The Baroque church was built between 1717 and 1725 for the Trinitarian Order according to the plans of Franz Janggl. The Trinitarians freed Christians from Turkish captivity by paying the demanded ransom. On the main altar painted around 1745 Saint John of Matha and Saint Felix of Valois can be seen as they free the captives from the Turks. The statues of St. Agnes of Rome and St. Catherine of Alexandria stand on the

sides of the altar. The side altar of the church was built by the Zichy family and they dedicated it to Virgin Mary.
