Tresztyánszky family funeral chapel
Building, structure
The Tresztyánszkys were prominent landowners of the village, whose origins can be traced back to King Endre II. They built their classicist mansion in the 18th century in the part of Keszi called Szög. One of the well-known members of the family, who was the county accountant, married Emerencia Stummer, a relative of Ipolyi. Their child was Bertalan Tresztyánszky, the chief prosecutor of Hont, husband of Emília Gyürki, who is buried in the tomb chapel in the cemetery built later. His tomb was erected by his wife's children, Mária and András. Bertalan's brother was Bishop Imre Tresztyánszky († 1847), a supporter of the scholarly archpriest Arnold Ipolyi, and Anna Tresztyánszky († 1805) was the grandmother of Bishop Arnold Ipolyi. ; The beautiful funeral chapel was built in the neoclassical style. Above the stone-framed Gothic door of the yellow-whitewashed building, a slender turret can be seen, which also has a pointed arched, stone-framed window. The tower was covered with red sheet metal, and a cross was placed on its top, on a sphere. The marble plaque above the entrance reads: “The resting place of the Tresztyánszky family was built in 1900.” On both sides of the chapel altar, decorated with a statue of the Heart of Jesus, a 19th-century noble tombstone can be seen. One belongs to Dr. Bertalan Nádasi Tresztyánszky, the other to Emíliá Gyürky. ; ; In the cemetery behind the chapel lies Mrs. Miklósné Horváth née Nádasi Tresztyánszky Mária. She was born in Ipolykeszi on March 26, 1840.
