Led by György Nemesnépi Zakál, 1803 the people of Őrség built a 7x4 m oratory (wooden, thatched-roof loghouse, prayer house) and a school. In 1817 theydecided to build a brick temple in place of the burned-down prayer house. The church was dedicated on October 28th, 1821. In 1844, a four-room parsonage was built next to it. It is the only neoclassical building complex in Őrség. The first church-clock of Őrség was placed in the tower of the church. The memorial plaque of Nemesnépi György Zakál on the wall of the building shows the drawing of the oratory built in 1803, the oldest known building depiction of the Őrség.
