History
It was originally built in the 11th-12th centuries as the parish church of the town. In the 16th century it was taken over by the Calvinists. In 1859, it was damaged by fire to such extent that it was impossible to restore it. It was almost completely demolished.
The new church was designed by local architect Mózes József in the English neo-Gothic style. Tt burned down again in the middle of the construction in 1872. It was finished in 1892, in a form slightly different from the original plans. In 1931 a fire broke out in the bell tower and the roof structure was also destroyed.
In the garden you can find the obelisk of the teacher and writer Leövey Klára, erected in 1899, and the memorial column of the heroes of the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-49 (Asztalos Sándor and Móricz Samu), erected in 1887.
