The church was constructed in Baroque style, among 1758 and 1768. The choir and the altar had been designed via the famous Austrian architect Franz Anton Hillebrand, the interior frescoes depicting scenes from the lifestyles of King Stephen I, the altarpiece represents the Stephen king kneeling in the front of the Mother of God and was made via Vinzenz Fischer, while implementing ceiling paintings are from Johan Cymbala.

The Late Baroque pulpit became built in a luxurious classicizing fashion just like Franz Anton Hillebrandt's primary altar. The sculpture organization on the top of the abat-voix represents the same subject matter as the fresco on the first vault. The frescoes of the church have been completed by using Johann Cymbal in 1768 giving an approximate date after which the pulpit could have been erected.
