Ödön Lechner drew the plans, and the article calls the style Hungarian Secessionist, a form of Art Nouveau. The church was first part of the neighboring gymnázium and served as its school chapel. The text dates construction to 1908 to 1913, a claim tagged as needing a citation, while the infobox gives the 12th century for the build and 1908 to 1913 for consecration. It names no client.

It is a one-nave church with an oval ground floor and a cylindrical tower 121 feet (36.8 m) high. A cupola was planned but never built, and a barrel vault topped by a hip roof was built instead. Blue-glazed, decorated bricks cover the roof, with a line of blue tiles encircling the church. The interior has mosaics, majolica and altarpieces.

The facade was originally painted light pastel colors and later became blue. The article describes no restoration and gives no visiting details.
