The Chapel of St. Florian

In the centre of the village and in close proximity to the Ferenc Deák Memorial Room, stands the chapel dedicated to St. Florian. The cornerstone of the chapel, built in 1893, was not blessed by the parish priest, so the chapel was laughingly called names. According to oral tradition, the project lacked a building permit and that was the reason that there were never any religious ceremonies. After some time, the building started to be used as a tool shed for firemen. The chapel was demolished in 1969 and the new chapel was built in the middle of the village and dedicated to St. Florian, the patron saint of firemen, in 1970. Behind the chapel stands a wayside cross that is still in relatively good condition.
