History

In 1715, a wooden house of prayer was built on the land that once belonged to the Franciscans. The Calvinists were given permission to build a church in 1775, which was completed in 1780. On May 2, 1918, the church burned down. It was restored between 1921 and 1929. A memorial plaque commemorates Pastor Szutor Jenő at the entrance to the church. On July 22, 1919, the Czechs occupied Beregszász, and in 1920, the almost entirely Hungarian town was given to Czechoslovakia. The Hungarian pastor refused to take the oath as a Czechoslovak citizen in April 1923, so he was expelled from Beregszász, but was recalled by the parish a few months later. He fell victim to Stalin's terror.
