The remains of its foundations were discovered in 1985 in the courtyard of the agricultural cooperative. ; The population later moved to the Danube island, where the small Gothic church mentioned in 1332 stood as a branch of Kakat (Párkány). In 1680, the Turks burned the church. In 1769, the late Baroque church was built on the new site of the settlement, which was rebuilt in the Classicist style in 1800.
