The church of St. John the Baptist was built in 1766-67 on the ruins of the church of the Pauline monastery, founded in 1301. Its tower was completed in 1795. With the support of the Upper Town Roman Catholic Parish, the Archdiocese, the Gyöngyös Municipality and the faithful, the facade and roof structure of the church were renovated in 2017.

The original church dates back to the Middle Ages and was later rebuilt several times. Interestingly, in the summer of 1713, the Gyöngyös city senate decided to hold a thanksgiving service every year on June 26 in the Johannes chapel in Bene to commemorate the escape from the great plague. The sanctuary was completed in 1767, and the facade was completed in 1795 with the coat of arms of the city of Gyöngyös on the facade (source: gyongyos-matra.hu/latnivalok/templomok-kegyhelyek/keresztelo-szent-janos-kapolna- matrafured/).
