History

St Elisabeth of Hungary was the daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary. She donated a lot to the poor and sick people. The chapel was built in the middle of the 14th century in Gothic style. It served the spiritual needs of the town hospital next to it. It was incorporated into the Lower Gate of the town in 1574. In 1879 most of the church was demolished together with the town gate because of road construction. It was consecrated again as a chapel after a neo-Gothic reconstruction between 1894 an 1895.
