According to tradition, the church was built above the house where the saint was born. The church is in fact the only cultic building in the Carpathian Basin that has been in use continuously since the 4th century. As early as in the 9th century, a church was raised here to replace a graveyard chapel.
The Sanctuary retained Romanesque and Gothic details. The building received its Baroque form between 1668-72.
The statue of Istvan Rumi Rajki rests on top of a well - depicting St. Martin baptizing his mother - reminding us to the relationship between one of the most famous natives to the town and his mother.
