The oldest building of the Budai quarter. It is surrounded by a
castle-wall-type barrier - by the wall of the former cemetery. The
residents of the valley of the Tettye river built a one-navy church here
as early as the 13th century. The originally Romanesque style All
Saints Church was reconstructed in the 15th century in Gothic style. The
exterior is simple, while a short tower stands on the triangular
pediment of the main façade. The interior is mostly 18th century
Baroques style.
During the Turkish occupation this was the only church that still
belonged to the Christians. It was used jointly by Catholics, Calvinists
and Unitarians. This is where the famous religious dispute of the
Calvinist Máté Skaricza and the Unitarian György Válaszúti took place in
1588. The church became Unitarian by the mid-17th century, the
Catholics only managed to regain it in 1664. Following this period, it
was under Jesuit management until 1704. At this time it was
reconstructed to be a three-nave church, this is when the little tower
was added.
On the south side of the cemetery, protected by stone wall, 18th-19th
century graves, on the north, Baroques graves can be found.
