Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to present the history of the church of Újpest based on contracts, plans and contemporary maps. $e church was founded by Count István Károlyi, and its construction was supported by his son, Count Sándor Károlyi. The author distinguishes four construction phases: 1. The church without tower and aisles (1874–1884); 2. Construction of the tower, bells and plot expansion (1887–1888); 3. The enlargement of the church (1891–1911); 4. Further developments: decoration, installation of the organ (1928–2015). The author’s research proves that the church of Újpest was designed by architect Antal Szvoboda on the model of Saint Bartholomew Church in Gyöngyös.
