The Reformed Church of Nemeshodos

In 1672, the Reformed preacher of Szerdahely was first expelled to his branch in Sikabony and then in Nemeshodos. Shortly afterwards, Nemeshodos became the mother church, by the imperial and royal letter of protection of the “Helvetica confession” in 1689, which allowed them to practice their faith here, and “by the power of which they could keep a preacher in their locality”. ; In 1729, Hodos became the mother church of several localities, but in 1732 they were forbidden to practice their religion until 1783. Only then, in 1786, was their “brick” church completed, the tower of which was first built in 1799 (its renovation took place in 1822). ; Its roof was “covered with tin in a beautiful way” in 1843. The red marble altar is dated 1845. ; ; “The interior of the church is simple, (...) the interior is longitudinally arranged. There are galleries on two sides. The organ was placed in the western one. From here the staircase leads to the tower, to the bells. The ceiling is flat and decorated with stucco, its closing is straight. Opposite the current entrance, on the north side, is the carved, dark brown painted pulpit and the Moses chair. In front of the pulpit are the altar and the baptismal font, both made of red marble. The benches are made of pine, their color is light, varnished. On the right side of the entrance there is a memorial plaque, which was made in memory of the victims of World War I.”
