Also known as Matthias Church, this church was built in the 13th century. Then in the 14th century, it was completely rebuilt but as a Gothic hall church. However, because Europe was plagued with so many Gothic churches, the reconstruction was never completed. When the Turks had control over Hungary, this church was the primary mosque although the interior furnishings were all destroyed and a 1686 siege caused the tower and roof to collapse. However, this church was again rebuilt in the 19th century but this time in the Baroque style. Sadly, the church was so heavily damaged during World War II that it took more than 20 years to rebuild.
