Construction of the church began on 13 March 1787, and it was consecrated on 21 September 1788. Construction of the church tower began in 1818, but due to lack of funds, it was only completed in 1832. At that time, the front of the church was also created in Empire style. In 1837, the church had three new bells cast for the new tower, and in 1839 the tower received tower clocks from the Buda master Jozef Jauschmann. <\/p>\n
On 29 September 1849, the imperial troops besieging the town set fire to the church. The roof burned down, the bells and tower clocks were destroyed. In 1850, the roof of the church was restored, and in 1853 the renovation of the interior was also completed. <\/p>\n
During World War I, 2 bells were confiscated from the church tower. Of the missing bells, for one, called the “Farmers’ Bell,” the Kom\u00e1rno farmers of the Reformed faith raised funds, and for the other, the so-called “J\u00f3kai Bell,” money was collected from the other members of this Christian community. The “Farmers’ ” and “J\u00f3kai” bells were consecrated on 15 September 1929. <\/p>\n
A memorial plaque, which was placed in the church in 1922, recalls and honours the memory of those of this faith who fell in World War I. <\/p>\n
Electric lighting was installed in the church at the beginning of the 1930s. At that time, a wrought-iron chandelier, the work of Andr\u00e1s T\u00f6r\u00f6k, was placed in the centre of the church. <\/p>\n
To commemorate the baptism of the writer M\u00f3r J\u00f3kai (20 February 1925), a memorial meeting was held in the church on the anniversary of his birth. <\/p>\n
The church was last renovated in the 1970s, when the star on the 63-metre-high tower was also gilded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":373,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[],"kategoria-programov":[108],"obec":[115],"class_list":["post-1475","zaujimavost","type-zaujimavost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategoria-programov-with-culture","obec-komarno"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zaujimavost\/1475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zaujimavost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/zaujimavost"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1475"},{"taxonomy":"kategoria-programov","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-programov?post=1475"},{"taxonomy":"obec","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/obec?post=1475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
