Sightseeing for visitors
In the village we can see an old architectural heritage from the romanesque art: the church. It consists of two parts. The older is the rotunda built with six sections. The younger is the village church. The rotunda has two other relatives of this type in the Carpathian Basin: Gerény and Karcsa.
