All Saints Church (Mindszent) is a Roman Catholic parish Church in the centre of Miskolc. It was built between 1724 and 1880 years in the Baroque style. Although its official name is the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, but in colloquial speech it is always mentioned as the Church of All Saints, probably due to the fact that it is located on the area of All Saints, which, in addition to the Church, forms a triangle with the Center of international trade, the Management of the National health service. Mindszent (All Saints) – this name wore a small town that once existed here. The Church was built on the site of the old chapel.

The chapel and the hospital next to her were first mentioned in 1507, the year. In 1562 it was reconstructed by order of Barbary Fansi, the owner of the castle Decider. In the first half of the 18th century the Abbot Frederick Altan decided to build a large Church on the site of the chapel. It is likely that the architect was Giovanni Battista the Carlone, who designed the Minorite Church in Miskolc. The Church was consecrated in 1748, although construction was not yet fully completed.

In 1857 the town was visited by the Emperor Franz Joseph, drawing attention to construction in progress, he offered to pay for the construction of one of the towers. The Archbishop of Eger, a few wealthy parishioners also made a considerable sum of money. In 1864, construction began on the two towers, by the end of year one of them was ready, some time later, the other tower was also completed.
