The Gothic church was built in the 14th century but the tower and the wall were added in the 17th century.
The church, located in Stredný Sliač, is equipped with a neat Gothic vault in a polygonal apse. The interior is decorated with late Gothic panelled painting of Madonna with St. Peter and Paul, the apostles, from 1517. It is the largest medieval painting in Slovakia.
Jozef Hanula painted the church in the 19th century.
