History

The church was built in the 14th century. Its winged altar is original. It was reconstructed in 1585 in late Gothic style and in 1902 in neo-Romanesque style. In its mausoleum lies the Slovak Catholic priest Andrej Hlinka, an anti-Hungarian separatist agitator. In 1906 he was sentenced for imprisonment for agitating against Hungary, but he was released next year. In 1936 he said in a large political gathering that: "I am the Slovak Hitler". He died in 1938.
