Ocsa Attractions

A visit to Ráckeve should include a short detour to Ósca, which is situated about 35km (28mi.) north of Ráckeve and only 5km (3mi.) from the E5 Budapest-Kecskemét road and can be reached via Kiskunlacháza and Bugyi. Surrounded by small thatched farmhouses the Late Romanesque church from the first half of the 13th C is a solid well-fortified building with two façaded towers and a prominent transept. It was built as the church of a Premonstratensian abbey and adopted by the reformed community in the middle of the 16th C. The late 13th C frescos in the choir were exposed in the 19th C (apostles, Saint Nicholas and Saint George, scenes from the life of the holy king Ladislaus and the Last Judgment).
