Archbishop of Kalocsa Patacsich Gábor dedicated this new church in 1742.[2] This, second church, was heavily damaged in the bombing during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and its bell-tower was destroyed.[2] It was later partially reconstructed.[2]
In 1891, the city council made a decision to demolish the old church, and to build a new one on the same location.[2] Hungarian architect György Molnár designed the church in 1892 for free.[2] The old church was demolished the same year, and the new one started. The main construction was finished in November 1893.[2] The 72-metre bell-tower with the golden cross was finished in October 1894.[2]
