Roman Catholic church in Árpás, Medieval Catholic church in Árpás, Hungary.

Saint James Church is a single-nave building with two symmetrical towers flanking the main entrance and a straight-ended chancel. Most of it is brick, with some stone details, and it dates from the Romanesque transition period. The chancel, apse and gallery keep their original form, while the nave was altered under the nuns.

The Premonstratensian monastery was founded in 1251 by Maurice, Count of Nyitra, who issued its founding charter; King Béla IV had passed through on 3 October 1242. Clarissan nuns fleeing the Ottoman threat took over the church in 1601, and the altarpiece was brought from Trnava. The church was largely given its Baroque form in 1750, stood ruined by 1860, received a new roof in 1930, and was restored in 1992.

The parish church serves the Catholics of Mórichida and Árpás, and its patronal feast is presumably held on 25 July, the feast of Saint James. The high altarpiece, painted in the 1660s, shows the pope, the emperor, a banus, a bishop and other figures; a nearby painting of Saint James dates from the 1790s. The side baroque altars have been in place since the 18th century.

The church stands in the Dombiföld part of Árpás, on the right bank of the Rába, and serves the Catholics of Árpás and Mórichida; the parish is in Árpás but the pastor of Egyed provides the ministry. The sacristy, south of the sanctuary, is reached by a narrow stone stair that continues up to the attic and the towers. The old village house plots lie east of the church.

The vault keystone in the sanctuary is carved as a blessing hand, and the capitals are made of limestone. A narrow stone stair from the sacristy leads up to the attic, where the walling-up of the old narrow windows on the south facade can still be seen.
