The altar with the image of the Holy Trinity is neo-baroque from the years 1875 - 1880. The bench and the baptistery are late baroque from the end of the 18th century.
In 1752, a chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity was built in the cemetery under the protection of the Virgin Mary of Sorrows. Under the chapel is the crypt of the Szásy family. This is because the founder - the founder of the church - on May 17, 1755, became František Szás of Opoja, who was the son of Paul and he was again the son of John; and his mother was Helen, daughter of Thomas Nagy de Réthe. Katarína Draveczká from Majcichov became the co-founder. The founding document was supplemented by František Szás on July 24, 1755, and confirmed in Trnava on May 23, 1755 by Bishop Jozef Szentillonay, as the Canonical Visit of the Majcichov Parish of July 7, 1756 speaks of: A copy of the foundation deed, certified on 14 June 1813 by the seal and signature of Ján Jánošek, the office of the Metropolitan Curia in Trnava, is stored in the archives of the op into parish, but is also in the Visitatio Ecclesiae Majthényiensis Anno 1756. 7. July per Illustrissimum ac Rmum. Dnum Joannem Galgoczy. Eppum. Traguriensem peracta. "
The parish priest of Majcichov, Ján Novoszad, again blessed the intoxicating chapel on July 6, 1755, on the basis of a special authorization from the Archbishop of Esztergom, Mikuláš Csáky, and the history of the chapel dates from this date.
In 1754, the founder František Szás donated two mass chalices with patenas for the chapel, which are still used in the church. Majcichov's canonical visitation of March 25, 1781 states that these chalices were blessed by Bishop Pavol Révay. In 1773, Bishop Anton Révay blessed the bells for the chapel.
The church in Opoji was built in 1752, originally as a funeral chapel with a crypt for the Szása family. František Szásy, the then owner of the intoxicating property, had the sacral building built so that its facade was perpendicular to the oldest street development and thus closed the northwestern edge of the village. Originally a Baroque, later classically modified single-nave chapel, it had a divided gable facade, in the middle with an indicated tower as if incorporated into the overall height of the roof. This typical element of classicist and empire buildings was complemented by two niches located on the sides of the main entrance and a round window above the entrance. The chapel originally had a rectangular floor plan with a straight closure. The interior was covered with a barrel vault.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the chapel was extended by a polygonal presbytery with a cross vault. At this time, the ceiling was also decorated in the form of scenes from the Bible and paintings of St. Mark and St. Luke.
Today's appearance of the church's exterior is the result of post-war reconstructions related to the disruption of the tower and truss, during the liberation of the village in 1945. The decoration of the facade was removed and replaced by a smooth arrangement of internal fields with highlighted edges. A tower was erected over the roof. The barrel vault in the oldest part of the church was replaced by a flat ceiling.
The old cemetery is the oldest graves from the middle of the 19th century, namely two sandstone monuments with a cross and an inserted marble signboard, located on the left side between the new graves. In the area of the cemetery there is a sandstone statue of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ from 1796 and in the back part at the house of mourning there are monuments of small intoxicating peasants and richer peasants from the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century.
