history
A medieval parish is assumed. At times the parish was Protestant. Using masonry from the former medieval church, the church was rebuilt around 1675 and consecrated in 1676 and badly damaged by the Turks in 1683. The reconstruction of the fortified church yard led to the elevation of the community to the market in 1689. After a fire (1737) the church was refurbished. In 1802 a renovation took place with the princely Esterházy master builder Franz Ringer. 1974 was a restoration.
