"Rebuilt in a neo-Romanesque to neo-Gothic style, the cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady dominates Kossuth Square. Originally the church was built between 1737 and 1744.Although the church was consecrated in 1886, the rebuilding of the organ, the extension of the sacristy and the commissioning of György Leszkovszky to paint the exterior only occured later.
The picture above the porch depicting the parish priest, the mayor and town inhabitants as they worship Christ and adore Our Lady of Hungary, was created in 1937. The St Stephen fountain, Jenő Bory's work commemorating the 900th anniversary of the death of King St Stephen, was placed on the south side of the church in 1938. The statues of the Immaculate Mary in the right side aisle as well as the figures of St Joseph and St Anthony in the left side aisle are also by sculptor Jenő Bory. The oldest statue of the church, the Madonna dates from the time of the Baroque church.
Can be visited upon prior arrangement."
