During the Austro-Turkish War of 1788–1791, Ottoman troops camped out inside the church, seriously damaging the painting and altar. A local merchant and his wife financed the subsequent repairs, which were finished in 1808, as the inscription mentions. The spire was coated in copper in 1855, and a new tin roof installed. Thorough exterior renovation took place in 1927, while the frescoes were freshened in 1960. Additional ample repairs, inside and out, were carrcarried out in 2006-2008.
