As the carved stones found at the site of the first settlement of the village - where the ancestors lived for 300 years - prove, there must have been a church in the so-called "Telken" as well.

There is a written record from 1389 - some researchers claim - which states: "a Jassic dwelling again bears the name of Saint George."

In 1686, after the end of the Turkish occupation, and with no authorities or justice in place, internal conflicts erupted among the settlements over land ownership.

The conflicts escalated to the point where the people of Ladány set fire to the dwelling known as "Telek" of Szentgyörgy and drove the residents away.

The necessary plans for approval were prepared by the master builder Károly Rabl from Gyöngyös, and he also contracted the construction work with the council.

The walls between the high altar and its frame are made of black and gray marble by János Pércsi, a master from Gyöngyös.

The first large altarpiece, depicting the coronation of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Trinity, was painted by Ferenc Lochbiller, a painter from Pest.

One of the side altars was erected by the village in 1831 upon the end of the great cholera epidemic, and the other one in 1844 by the Maria Reading Society.

Two oval-shaped artworks by an unknown artist are placed above the two confessionals; one depicts the prodigal son, and the other portrays Penitent Mary Magdalene.

The baptistry is also a work of art, with a depiction of the Baptism of Christ by John the Baptist in the Jordan River on the top, beautifully gilded.

The church's interior is illuminated by nine large windows, decorated with colorful painted mosaic glass by Miksa Róth.

Another window features Saint George the Dragon Slayer, riding a horse and bearing the crowned emblem of the village, with the colors of the Jász people.

They were hardworking, diligent individuals who maintained good relations with the local population, even during the antisemitic propaganda of World War II.

Those who survived the Holocaust, some of whom returned to the town, were unable to revive the life of the Jewish community or continue their commercial activities, leading many to leave for the capital or abroad.

To facilitate good business deals, for example, Soma Édelmann's wife, Hanni Weiner, served coffee with milk foam, raisin challah, and laska in a small room next to the store.

It is certain that not all peasant families always had enough money to buy various goods, but they could often take items on credit, and in return, offer a well-fed goose as interest.
