History
The church was built in 1329. The oldest parts of the church are the sanctuary, the main nave and the tower. In 1518 a side nave was added. The church was renovated in Baroque style between 1742 and 1743. It gained its current form at that time. The painting of the main altar depicts the Assumption of Virgin Mary into heaven, above it stands the equestrian statue of St. George. On its side altars St. Stephen of Hungary and the Piétá can be seen. The members of the Kondé family are buried in its crypt.
In the Middle Ages the church and the cemetery next to it were surrounded by stone walls. The enclosed area was called "Szentfundus", that meant inviolable area. It often protected the inhabitants of the town from attackers. The cemetery and the walls were demolished during the 19th century.
