Barsbaracska Reformed Church

A Reformed church had already stood in the village, but it was forcibly expropriated and rebuilt into a Catholic church. Only two pastors worked in the village, István Kisvárdai in 1725, István Óvári until 1733, and after that Baracska became a branch of the Pozba parish. The next church was built only in 1785 on a designated site, which did not have a tower, similar to the other tolerance churches. Landlord Ambro donated 1,500 bricks for its construction, despite the fact that he was Catholic. Over time, however, the church did not suit the Reformed congregation, so a new one was built in 1908. The plans were developed by the architect Rezső Czibulka from Léva, who also supervised the works. The stonemasonry was carried out by András Varga from Kissálló, and the carpentry work was carried out by Master Nestor from Zselíz. The construction of the church began on May 1, 1908 and was consecrated by Bishop Imre Varga on November 7, 1909, similarly in 1973 and 1993. ; The church is a hall ending with a polygonal altar, with tower-staircase extensions and a transformed tower. The plain facades are only divided by rectangular windows. The upper part of the tower is covered with a dome and has a more sophisticated architectural design (pillars, rustication, two sound openings). The lower part of the tower is the remains of the former church with the old entrance portal. On the south and north sides of the interior of the straight-ceilinged church there are wooden Protestant galleries. The red marble Lord's table was made in 1861 by the Baracska Reformed believers. The original crystal chandelier was replaced with new lighting. The 300th anniversary of the Reformation is commemorated on a memorial plaque placed in the church in 1917. The second memorial plaque was unveiled in honor of the millencentenary of the conquest of Hungary and reads: You must live and die here. The church's more recent furnishings date from 1909. Two bells hang in the tower, one is the original, made in 1694, the other was cast in 1924 by the believers of Baracska at the Kurtel company in Nagyszombat as a replacement for the bell appropriated for cannon casting during the First World War. The silver chalice of the Lord's Supper was donated by György Szaszák in 1940.
