Gyürky Chapel
Building, structure
North of the village, at the entrance to the cemetery, there is a chapel. Above the entrance there is a black and a white marble tablet. The chapel was renovated in 1968. It was built over the ashes of Antal Gyürky's parents, and this building became a place of prayer for the Szelényi faithful.
