St Stephen's Church
The Catholic church of this medieval settlement built around 1400, was built in Gothic style by Pál Kinizsi around 1480. The polygonal choir, the cross-vaulting in the sacristy and the fan vaulting in the nave date from this period. The church was rebuilt in Baroque style about 1740 when the counts of Zichy had the church rebuilt after it was badly damaged by the Turks.
Zichy House
The 18th C Baroque palace on the main thoroughfare, nowadays a riding school, displays Classical features. The middle of the front façade has a tympanium supported by four Ionian columns. In the surrounding park and castle, riding displays take place annually in summer.
