Na mieste dnesneho kostola stal uz v polovici 13. storocia romansky kostol sv. Juraja, neskor ho rod Bebekovcov nahradil vacsim gotickym sienovym kostolom s polygonalnou svatynou, ktory sa prvykrat spomina v roku 1320. V polovici 15. storocia k lodi zo severnej strany pristavali rodovu pohrebnu kaplnku. V 17. storoci sa cez region prehnali Turci a kostol, vtedy uz reformovany, po oprave rovneho stropu v lodi dostal dnesny vzhlad – len pod omietkami sa zachovali zvysky kedysi honosnej freskovej vyzdoby. Nástenné malby, ktore su zatial odkryte v interieri, su z konca 14. storocia, daju sa rozoznat rozne vyjavy: na juznej stene stredovekej svatyne Ukrizovanie s troma Mariami a dalsimi postavami pod krizom, vyssie je Posledna vecera a fragment Krista pred Pilatom. Na vonkajsej stene juznej lode sa zachovala cast stredovekej omietky s postavami sv. Ladislava a sv. Stefana – uhorskych kralov, tieto casti objavili a restaurovali v rokoch 1977-78.
V obdobi, kedy si dali miestni zemepani Bebekovci vyzdobit svoj rodovy kostol, zaplatili si najlepsich umelcov – podla nazoru odbornikov tu malovali umelci, ktori pracovali na kralovskom dvore – na maliarskej vyzdobe kralovskej kaplnky v Ostrihome.

In the place of the present church there was a Romanesque St. George church in the middle of the 13th century. The Bebek family replaced it by a larger Gothic two-nave hall-church, firstly mentioned in 1320. In the middle of the 15th century a burial chapel was built on the northern side. The Turks damaged the region in the 17th century and after the renewal the church – a Calvinist or Reformed then – got a plain ceiling. Fragments of the once-upon-a-time magnificent fresco decoration were hidden under the plaster. In the interior there are are some wall-paintings uncovered: on the southern wall of the medieval presbytery a Crucifixion with three Maries and other figures under the cross, in the upper part a scene with the Last supper and a detail of Christ before Pilate. On the exterior of the southern wall of the nave is a part of medieval plaster restored with figures of the Hungarian royal saints: St. Ladislaus and St. Stephen, discovered and restored in 1977-78.
In the Middle Ages as the local noble Bebek family arranged the decoration of their family church, they could afford the best artists – according to the oppinion of arthistorians this work was completed by painters, who were employed at the royal court – and created the fresco decoration of the royal chapel in Esztergom.
