History

The parish of the settlement dates back to the 11th century. The church was built between 1050-1150. At the time of the Reformation, it became the property of the Calvinists. The new church was built by the Piarists in 1730 in the Baroque style. The parish was run by the Piarist Fathers until 1780, when a diocesan priest was appointed. Its vault is decorated with paintings by Jakobély Károly from 1887. The main altarpiece was painted by Mezey József in 1862.
