Until the introduction of state registry on October 1, 1895, the church registers were considered official documents. The Monyorókerék estate was donated to the son of Konrád Ellerbach by King Louis the Great in 1369, and he built the sanctuary and sacristy around 1380. A century later, Berthold Ellerbach rebuilt and expanded the 15th-century church, but he did not build a tower for it. According to an excavation in 1981, the church burned down in 1735, with only the ceramics in the Gothic sanctuary and the sacristy remaining. The nave was rebuilt with Baroque vaults, a choir and a tower. Between 1811 and 1829 Antal Martinkovics was the parish priest, the document bears his signature.
