St. Elizabeth Roman Catholic Church

Building, structure

The building in the upper part of the village began to be built around 1870 with the contribution of the Hungarian Royal Treasury and the villagers. The population contributed either with manual labor or by moving building materials. First, the foundations of the tower were laid, as the ground there was wet. The locals drew water at night so that they could build during the day. The pale yellow church tower has three divisions, and statues can be seen in the niches next to its entrance. It is surrounded by a wrought-iron fence, and a staircase leads to its gate. On both sides of the road there are huge stone supports. In the garden, there is a memorial plaque in memory of Saint Elizabeth, a cross, and a Lourdes grotto under construction. During World War II, there was an anti-aircraft battery in each of the four corners of the garden, but the church was not fired upon. The high altar is a piece of equipment salvaged from the former church.
