It had three altars: the main altar was dedicated to St. Nicholas, the bishop, located in the middle of the sanctuary. In front of the altar and the coffer house stood sixteen artistically crafted oak stools. The baptismal water was placed in a copper container in a wooden box. The holy water was stored in a silver vessel in the sacristy. An oratory was built above the sacristy, serving the patron saint of the church.
In the first half of the 19th century, during the more extensive reconstruction of the parish church in 1844, the patronage of the church was changed to a new one, the Name of the Virgin Mary.
In 1847, the church tower was still missing. After its construction in 1859, the church was solemnly consecrated in 1861 by Cardinal Ján Scitovský, Archbishop of Esztergom.
The pulpit of the church is Rococo from the second half of the 18th century, decorated with Rococo ornaments on the oratory and canopy.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, the church was gradually repaired and completed.
In 1980, the following works were carried out at the painting of the church: restoration work on the ceiling frescoes, a new painting of St. families on the ceiling, painting the ceiling and walls of the whole church, frescoes - imitation of marble on the pillars of the halls, restoration and gilding of paintings. In 1992, a new clock was installed on the church tower. In 1998, two paintings could be painted - with Christmas and Easter themes, which in the respective liturgical period used to be exchanged with the original painting of the Virgin Mary the Assumption on the main altar.
From the local chronicle
Despite the fact that a large part of the cost of building the church was borne by the landowners of the town of Erdödy, our ancestors were sacrificed a lot. Of the four vineyards owned by the church, 510 gold coins were obtained in the years 1755 - 1760, and 102 gold coins were earned for the rye sold in the church fields. They also received part of the funds from the charitable believers and founders of St. Masses.
Manual work had to be helped in building such a demanding building. For example, timber for the truss was ordered by a master carpenter from traders on "miners". This wood was to be transported along the Váh to Hlohovec. However, for unknown reasons, the rafts remained standing in Nové Mesto nad Váhom. 44 furmans then went for this wood twice.
240 strips of stone were broken for the construction, which was about 880 m3. We also needed a lot of fired brick, sand and other building materials. Furmani from the surrounding villages also helped with the construction.
