Reformed Church in Marcelháza

The first records of the Reformed (Protestant) church in Marcelháza date back to 1650, and the first preacher was Mihály Galántai. The local congregation received a letter of asylum from Imre Thököly in the last years of the 17th century, and then from Ferenc Rákóczi II in 1706. However, in 1717, the commander of Komárom County expelled the preacher. ; An important milestone in the life of the congregation is that preacher István Mike, who served between 1717 and 1731, began to keep the register. Unfortunately, the local house of prayer was completely destroyed in the 1750s. ; The construction of the Reformed church began in 1786 and the first service was held in it on January 21, 1787. The church was built without a tower, which was added in 1833. In 1906, the entire church was renovated. The tower was plastered only in 1965, and then in 1987 the entire church received a new exterior, the bells were converted to operate electrically. Today, the tower houses three bronze bells, the smallest of which was cast in 1789 and the other two in 1923. A bell was also donated to the church in 1895, but unfortunately it was confiscated during World War I and used for military purposes. ; The elongated hall church is connected by a vestibule, and the two-story tower fits into the pointed facade. The tower's masonry is closed by a shoulder cornice, on which the domed tower helmet rests. There is a wooden porch on three sides of the churchyard. A memorial plaque for the victims of World War I has been placed on the wall of the church. The monument to the Calvinist victims of World War II is located next to the entrance to the Calvinist church.
