Kisvárda - Catholic's Church

Kisvárda's second place of historical interest is the Catholic Church of SS Peter and Paul, which according to local legend was built by King St Ladislaus (1040-95) in gratitude for his victory over the Cumans. The church was rebuilt in 1788-1805, but remains of the old walls and medieval corbels with human figures (12th C.) as well as Gothic details in the choir have survived. The town's collection of local history and folk-art items (Rétközi Museum) can be seen in the former synagogue.
