The church probably dates back to the 13th century. In 1240 it was given by King Bela IV to the Cistercians, and the Cistercians greatly influenced the way it was built. The walls around the church were built in the 15th century. There used to be three sets of concentric walls, but the outermost wall around the water ditch cannot be seen any more.
