The twin-towered Baroque church dedicated to the Assumption of Our Lady was built in 1763. Several legends related to King St Ladislaus (Szent László) and to miracle healings are connected to this famous place of pilgrimage.
The towers are covered by onion spires. The high altar, the pulpit and several statues are of a Rococo style and both side altars were created in a late Rococo, so-called 'copf' style in the 18th century. The 18th-century holy statue of the Virgin Mary is placed on the high altar.
The first record of a miraculous spring dates from 1290. An early wooden chapel was replaced by a stone structure in 1705 which had already fallen into ruins by 1755. The foundations of the modern church were laid by a hermit and then from 1758 to 1763 it was completed with assistance from the Almásy family. The Almásy tomb is attached to the western front.
A Franciscan monastery joins the church from the east. Alongside the western facade there is a park area with old trees and benches and in favourable weather conditions open-air holy masses are held here.
Catholic believers may partake in complete indulgence at Szentkút (Holy Well) on any day of the year. Festivals are celebrated on their actual dates but the major festivals are also commemorated on the Sunday closest to their date.
