A place of worship for a Lutheran congregation was already set up
here in 1843, and it became a Mother-Church in 1909.

Money which had been available for church building by 1912 was lost
in a warloan, so the committee for church building could only
restart its work in 1922. A competition for a church and a
congregational house was announced in 1933 when a plot of land was
received from the capital. Lóránt Friedrich's plan was accepted, and
the church was completed in 1935.
Description of the church
The building is a product of modern ecclesiastical architecture: its
reinforced concrete framework leading to a simplification of forms.
This is especially perceptible in the arrangement of the interior,
where it may be readily appreciated at a glance. The exterior is
dominated by natural stone, the material used for the massive
campanile-like belltower, the porch, and the sacristy, and it is
effective also in the fine ornaments of the wall surfaces. Only in
the centre does a giant stone cross stand out in relief. Under and
around the high rising slender spire of the bell-tower there are
narrow, loophole-like windows.
The interior is a spacious, roomy hall, with a choir in the narrow
side aisle on the side of the belltower. The ceiling is supported by
reinforced concrete pillars and ribs, filled in by sunken panels of
coloured wood. In the altar area, which opens through a triple
archway, is the freestanding Communion table where those partaking
of the Lord's Supper can walk around. Directly behind the altar
there is a mound built of marble blocks resembling the Mount of
Golgotha. From this rises the brown wooden cross, with the name of
Jesus inscribed on it. The relationship between the congregational
hall and the altar creates a monumental spatial effect. Under the
church there is a room of equal size, used earlier for
congregational purposes. The mighty organ, once "the most
beautifully sounding Lutheran organ" (from the Budapest Rieger organ
factory, 1940) melted completely in a fire which broke out during
the war, and everything made of wood burned with it. The new organ
and pews were acquired from Tata with the help of donations from the
congregation. The wooden panelling was restored. The altar was
restored also, in 1989, but the immoveable fire marks on it remained
as an eternal memento.
