The church was build in 1752 by refugees escaping the Ottoman army and settling in Szentendre. The Baroque-Rococo building have since become a symbol of the city. Its tower with a clock is 28 meters tall.

Inside there is a barrel vault divided in three and Rococo columns. The iconostasis, occupying the full height of the building, was made by Mihály Zsivkovics in the 1790's. The icons are placed on an oak tree stand and in richly gilded frames. The altar was made from red marble.
