History

The name Gerény (in Gheren form) is first encountered in the papal tithe register compiled between 1332-1337. Its frescoes were painted around 1360 on the orders of Drugeth György, ispán of Ung County and Judge Royal of Hungary, who visited Italy in 1354. The church is also decorated with 15th-century paintings. In the 15th century, an elongated room with a rectangular floor plan was added from the west and a sacristy from the north.
