The church was built according to the designs of the builder Altenburg. Its foundations were laid on 22 July 1784 and by the standards of the time it was completed very quickly, in 11 months. The Evangelical church was built in the classical style, but the interior furnishings, which have been preserved to this day, are also characterised by baroque elements.

The famous Slovak statesman, diplomat and scientist Milan Rastislav Štefánik became a pupil of the Šamorín Evangelical Lyceum in the school year 1889-90. His relief is placed in front of the present rectory of the Evangelical church. It is the work of the author Ladislav Majerský from 1930.
