History
The church was built between 1443 and 1491 in late Gothic style. The western Renaissance hallway was built in 1555. It became the parish church at that time, because the former parish church of Our Lady was turned into a castle against the Turks (it is the Old Castle).
Above the portal the coats of arms of Hungary, Selmecbánya and Rubigall Pál, who contributed a large sum to the construction of the church, can be seen. The church was used by the Lutherans from 1580 to 1672. In 1692 the church was acquired by the Jesuits, who turned the interior of the church into Baroque style in the 18th century. The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk was added in 1776. At the end of the 19th century the interior was converted back to Gothic style. In 1900 two choirs were built and a new neo-Gothic organ was made in the workshop of the Riegel brothers in Budapest. The colored windows of the presbytery are from 1894 and stained glass windows of the side chapel are from 1907. The names of the donors are written on them in Hungarian.
