History

The construction started in the 13th century and was finished in 1304. It was originally a Gothic church, which was reconstructed several times. It has been a cathedral since 1776, when Empress Maria Theresia established the Diocese of Rozsnyó. The current tower was built between 1778 and 1779. The late Baroque main altar was made in 1779 by Gode József. He made the pulpit as well in 1770. The painting of the altar is from 1513 and bears the title "St Anne in a company of three". It illustrates St. Anne with Virgin Mary and Jesus. St. Anne is considered to be the mother of Virgin Mary.
