History
In 1663, thanks to Barbora Appónyi, the construction of a new brick church began on the site of the former wooden one. However, the temple was gradually insufficient to accommodate all believers. There was no space for its enlargement due to the close proximity of the new royal road, so Baron Ladislav of Korlatek decided to build a new church for Jablonica. Construction began on June 19, 1729 and lasted 6 years. In 1752, the church was consecrated by Bishop Anton Révay of Esztergom.

Church of St. Štefan kráľa is a three-nave Baroque building with an almost square floor plan and a round presbytery. The presbytery of the church is vaulted and is extended towards the nave by the masonry of the last vaulted field of the side naves, thus creating two-story oratories on both sides of the priesthood with access to the stairs from the side naves. In the years 1750-52, the church was baroqued, which is a three-nave building with a western emporium and two storey oratories on either side of the presbytery. The main nave is vaulted with a Prussian and barrel vault, the side naves with cross vaults open to the main nave through arcades with pilasters.

The outer gable façade is finished with a tympanum and a baroque tower is raised above it. The windows on the facade are in two rows, the upper elliptical shape. The entrance portal is baroque with presented side pillars.

In 1817, at the suggestion of Dean Jozef Bélik and with the consent of Count Appónyi, two Baroque altars of St. John the Baptist and St. Francis, which were once made by Ladislav of Korl, were transferred to the Jablonec Church from the abandoned monastery and church of St. Catherine.
