History

The church was built around 1260 in Romanesque style. It was part of the castle fortification.

In the 14th century Carmelites acquired the church and built a nunnery next to it, which functioned until 1565. The Carmelites were engaged in education. In 1430 the Carmelites gained the right to grant indulgence for pilgrims.

The church was modified in 1682 and in 1805. The Gothic Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk is on its southern side. The Baroque main altar is from the beginning of the 18th century. The church has a Gothic statue of Virgin Mary from the second half of the 15th century. The side altars are Baroque from the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th centuries.
