History
The church was built in the 1230s as a three-nave Romanesque church. King László IV of Hungary donated it to the Dominicans, who used it until 1563. At that time it was dedicated to St. Nicholas. The Lutherans used the church between 1575 and 1669. Afterwards the Jesuits acquired it. The main altar and the roof burned down during the uprising of Thököly Imre in 1679, and afterwards the Jesuits reconstructed the church between 1688 and 1689. In 1768 a Jesuit grammar school was opened in the former Dominican monastery. The Jesuit order was dissolved by the pope in 1773. The church was taken over by the parish, while the grammar school was taken over by the Piarists. After the fire in 1806 the church gained Classicist appearance and an Empire facade. In 1914 a new building was constructed for the grammar school in the northeastern part of the courtyard of the monastery. The old building of the monastery was demolished in 1933.
