History

lt was built in the 13th century in late Romanesque style and was reconstructed in 1464 in Gothic style. Its Gothic winged altars (the altars of St. George and St. Anthony) were made between 1503 and 1520 in the workshop of Master Lőcsei Pál in Lőcse. The main altar illustrates St. George. To the left is the altar of Virgin Mary from 1464 and to the right is the altar of St. Anthony the Great. The Chapel of St. Anne on the northern side of the church is from the 16th century.
