The baroque church, built under the supervision of Abbot Ágoston Lécs, is 46m long and 16m wide, and has two 34.5 metre-high towers which puts it among the medium-sized churches of Hungary. Its interior decoration was constructed by wood-carver and cabinet-maker Sebastion Stulhoff between 1754 and 1779.
The furnishings and the gilded wooden sculptures are excellent pieces of Central European Baroque art, just like the frescos painted by Károly Lotz, Bertalan Székely and Lajos Deák-Ébner during the restoration works in 1889-1890. The latest restoration of the church was completed in 1996.
