It is consecrated to Elisabeth of Hungary, daughter of Andrew II, who grew up in the Pressburg Castle (Pozsonyi vár).

It is referred to as "The Little Blue Church" because of the colour of its façade, mosaics, majolicas and blue-glazed roof.

Lechner also drew plans of the neighbouring Gymnázium Grösslingová 18 and of the vicarage (also in the Hungarian Secessionist style).

At first, a cupola was planned, but was never constructed; instead, a barrel vault was built, topped by a hip roof.

The main and side entrances are enclosed with Romanesque double-pillars, which have an Oriental feeling.
