History

It was originally a Gothic church of three naves built in the 14th century (around 1234). A roofed wooden stairway leads to the church. It was reconstructed in Renaissance style in the 16th century. The church was devastated by fire several times. In 1790 three out of four bells melted in a fire. After the fire in 1886, the church was completely reconstructed between 1911 and 1912. It is a popular destination for those seeking indulgence on the feasts of Virgin Mary.

To the left is the chapel of the Illésházy family, while the chapel to the right is dedicated to Saint Imre. He was the only son of St. Stephen of Hungary, who died too early during a hunt.
