The history of the Lutheran congregation in Tét goes back to the mid-1500s. A church with wattle-and-daub walls stood in the centre of the village, but burnt down in 1774 (a stumpy stone tower was erected in its place in 1800, which was converted in 1835 into today’s tall bell tower. The present Baroque church was built on a new site, with the permission of Maria Theresa. Larch piles were hammered into the ground to reinforce its foundations. The foundation stone was laid in in 1778 and construction was completed in 1780. Lutherans from Győr also travelled here to attend mass until their church was constructed in 1785. The church’s interior has an unusual layout, as the altar and the pulpit are situated on the longitudinal wall. The red marble baptismal font was made in 1868 while the organ was built in 1910. The coat-of-arms which can be seen at the beginning of the pews is in honour of the Zmeskál family who worked for the congregation.

In 1715, Christian Ailert, an imperial officer injured in battle, turning to God to be healed, requested the intercession of St Anthony of Padua. The voice of Our Lady came to him in a dream and told him to visit a spring on the edge of Tét and to bathe in it. The officer washed in the spring’s water and was healed. Out of gratitude, he had a chapel built above the spring, in which he placed a copy of a picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. This miraculous recovery made the spring famous, drawing thousands of pilgrims to pray here in the hope of being healed.In 1744, a Baroque church was built in honour of St Anthony of Padua on the site of the chapel. Its sanctuary has a round-arched ceiling. The miracle-working spring is directly behind the altar. There are two pictures on the main altar: St Anthony of Padua above and Our Lady of Perpetual Help below. A depiction of the birth of the Virgin Mary can be seen in the church’s nave. In 2003, the church gained benches in the churchyard and a people’s altar, so that Holy Mass can be held here on the saint’s day. The statue of Mary next to the churchyard’s open-air altar was erected by Tét worshippers in 1896. Two saints’ days are celebrated each year in Tétszentkút: that of St Anthony of Padua on the Sunday closest to 13 June and that of the Virgin Mary on the weekend closest to 12 September.

The church standing on the so-called Lord’s Hill not far from the centre of the village was built in the 1800s while its two-belled tower was added in 1925. A praying Jesus, angel holding a chalice and sleeping apostles are depicted on the altarpiece of the simple church.There is a biblical quote painted on an old round plaque embellishing the pulpit. The small congregation takes care of the church and its surrounding buildings. One of these functioned as a denominational school before World War II.

The Baroque church built in 1753 was later rebuilt in a Romanticist style. Its facade is endowed with a two-stage steepled tower. Its flat-ceilinged nave is separated from the sanctuary by a chancel arch. The sanctuary’s rear wall is covered with a fresco imitating a neo-Gothic altar structure. In the middle of the work created by the Austrian painter Flösch, there is an image depicting the encounter between Mary and Elizabeth, while St Benedict and St Martin stand on the two sides. Of particular note among the church’s treasures are the Stations of the Cross, the modern organ, the ornately carved baptismal font and the ceiling fresco symbolising God the Father.There is a Baroque statue of St John of Nepomuk from 1780, a stone cross and a monument to the Holy Crown.

There are various protected monumental statues in the village. The oldest of them is the Baroque Holy Trinity column on Rába Square, erected in 1691. It was erected thanks to György Niczky, who played a key role in the rebuilding of Mihályi during the ravages of the Turks and then the Rákóczi War of Independence. He also had the Baroque statue of St John of Nepomuk erected in 1738 next to the bridge over the Small Rába. There are also two statues of Mary in the churchyard: the “Queen of Heaven” carved in 1700 and the extraordinarily beautiful “Immaculata” created in 1780.Mary Magdalene and St Peter are depicted in relief on the bottom part of the stone cross erected in 1763 in the cemetery. There are also several monumental tombs, richly decorated with statues and reliefs, that were constructed at the beginning of the 1800s.

The church was built in 1936, originally as a Lutheran school. Two years later, in 1938, a three-storied bell tower with clock was added. The school building was also used as a prayer house. It was renovated in 1989-90 and then converted to a church. It was insulated and its exterior renovated in 2010-2012, while, at the same time, its sign stating “People’s education” was returned to the wall. There is a Jesus altarpiece and also a picture depicting Martin Luther in the simple church.

It was documented in the 14th century as St George’s Church, but in 1700, only its walls were mentioned. It was rebuilt in 1712 in Baroque style and extended in 1757 with two side aisles. An interesting feature of the tower is the four angel statues at the corners of the steeple.The rimmed Rococo high altar was made around 1750 and boasts a double pedestal. There is a Baroque statue depicting four saints between the Corinthian columns. A statue of St George stands above the three-piece cornice. On its pediment, angels are holding the Niczky family’s coat-of-arms. The high altar’s lower picture depicts the Holy Trinity and the crowning of the Virgin Mary as she is received into heaven while the upper one depicts St Michael triumphing over Satan. The side altar is decorated with nine Baroque statues dating from 1760. The marble baptismal font and the Rococo carving above it date from around 1750. The Rococo Easter candelabra also dates from this time.The sweeping frescoes reminiscent of Baroque style and the images of the copper-embossed station series were created at the beginning of the 20th century. There is a rock chapel in the church as well as some old armoried tombs.

Legend has it that, in 1529, the Turks affixed their crescent flag over the church built in the second half of the 13th century. Following the Reformation, the Lutherans used the church until 1673. The Árpád-era church preserves its Romanesque and Gothic details till this day: its semi-circular apse, the lancet windows on its southern facade and its stone-framed door. The church gained a new tower in 1658. It was rebuilt in Baroque style at the end of the 18th century and was reinforced with buttresses so that its walls could support its barrel-vault.When entering through the spiked door, visitors are greeted by the contrast of the brilliant white and the deep blue of the sanctuary. The sanctuary’s main painting was created in 1893. The church’s namesake apostles, Peter and Paul, are depicted in the fresco underneath the Holy Trinity. The gospel scene carved on the Baroque pulpit depicts the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman. The two framed “Christmas” paintings (the adoration of the shepherds and the worship of the three kings) are also Baroque works. Even older works are copies of the Mariazell devotional statue of the Virgin Mary.

The first mention of Beled’s church dates from 1308. Today’s parish church dedicated to the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built thanks to the support of its patrons, the Cziráky and Esterházy families, on the site of the previous old church which had burnt down. The floorspace of the church built between 1861 and 1863 is 540 m2 while its tower is 28m high. The facade of the single-naved, late Classicist building is Romanticist while its tower is built in neo-Gothic style.The high altar’s altarpiece depicts the new-born Mary in the arms of her father, St Joachim, with her mother, St Anne, next to him. Statues of St Anthony and St John of Nepomuk stand on the two sides of the high altar. The paintings on the side altars depict the “Annunciation scene and St Joseph. The interior’s oldest ornament is the Baroque statue of the Madonna. The organ was made in Vienna in 1864, and the three bells were cast by the Seltenhofer dynasty in Sopron.A cholera epidemic devastated the Rábaköz in 1855. After it had receded, the Beled worshippers erected a Mary column in the churchyard out of gratitude.

The village’s inhabitants became acquainted with the doctrines of the Reformation in the 1530s. Due to the adverse fortunes of the Calvinist fellowship, the church’s construction only began in 1825. The church was consecrated ten years later in 1835. The flat-ceilinged church has a wooden-shingled roof. At first, a wooden belfry was built, and a small bell was cast for it in 1816. The ornate tower with its unusual geometrical steeple stands in front of the main facade and is connected to it with a curved Baroque wall. The large, sophisticated geometrical steeple’s timberwork is covered with metal plates. The pulpit was made in 1851. A gallery with an enclosed lower part and rows of pews on a raised floor was built on the western and eastern sides of the nave. The walls and ceiling are covered with pine panelling. The communion table and baptismal table are in the middle of the church while the organ stands on a pedestal.

The Roman Catholic Church was built in Baroque style between 1751 and 1768 and was expanded with a side aisle in 1930. The building’s most characteristic feature is its tower which protrudes at the front. The carved pulpit was made in the 1770s. The Baroque high altar’s oil painting features the church’s patron saint, St John of Nepomuk, standing on the clouds and being raised to the heavens. There is an angel at his feet holding a crucifix in his hand, surrounded by cherubs. The high altar’s painting underwent repairs in 1881. The church’s facade and the memorial to World War I on the church’s elevation were also renovated in 2015. The church is a listed building.

There were already crosses standing on the Calvaria Hill above the Roman Catholic Holy Trinity Church at the beginning of the 1800s; these had rotted over time. The new crosses were made by a local carpenter and his sons. The bodies on the cross were painted by Táp handyman, Tibor Hatos. A “serpentine” pedestrian path was built and reliefs immortalising the 14 stations of Jesus’s Way of the Cross were erected next to it. Wood-carver Károly Schreiner created the station’s images. Thanks to the cooperation of the local populace, the Catholics and the Calvinists erected the crosses and put in plants. The ceremonial benediction of the Táp Calvaria Hill took place on 28 March 2015. When you arrive up at the crosses, you will see a lovely panorama of visitors and pilgrims spread out before you.

The Calvinist congregation in Táp ran a school from 1629. At that time, except for Pápa, there was only this one school in the whole diocese. The Turkish army retreating from Vienna destroyed the village and the church in 1683, but it had already been rebuilt by 1691. In 1700, the Jesuits seized the church and banished the preacher, János Újvári. Freedom of religious profession in Táp was interrupted until 1784. At that time, worshippers went to Réde to attend Reformed services. The Reformed congregation of Táp began to build the current church in September 1784. They had to fill in the marshy land with hundreds of cartloads of soil. The church was inaugurated on 4 December 1785. The tower was built in 1827. Commemorative plaques were installed by the congregation in the church on the 400th and 500th anniversaries of the beginning of the Reformation (in 1917 and 2017).

The church, a listed building, is fundamentally very old, it was already standing in the 14th century. The current form of the Baroque building dates from 1764. Statues of St Stephen and St Emeric stand beside the Baroque high altar’s picture depicting the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). The pulpit and side altar are also very valuable. The church’s frescoes were restored in 1933 by Antal Borsa and then again in 1993 by Zoltán Závory. The Bethlehem scene can be seen above the choir, the ceiling depicts the baptism of Jesus in Jordan whereas the Ascension can be seen on the sanctuary vaulting. The Way of the Cross begins in the churchyard from the statue of Mary and leads up to the Calvary Hill.  

There are many public works in the village, but mention should be made of the Holy Trinity, St Wendel, St Nicholas, St Stephen, St Elisabeth and St Florian statues. There are stone crosses on the roads leading to the village and near the two churches. Statues of St John of Nepomuk and St Barbara stand on the Szil church’s high gable on both sides of the tower. There is a scene from after the Easter Resurrection above the church’s main entrance and a relief depicting the builder of the church, parish priest, Vince Csigi, beside the gate. There is a statue of the Virgin Mary with baby Jesus sitting on her arm in the churchyard. The chapel on the upper floor of the former school, used by the nuns serving there and teaching the girls during the first half of the 20th century, has been restored. An exhibition entitled “Sacrality” can be found in the neighbouring rooms.

According to the 1696-97 church visit records, “in this small village, which is part of the Szil parish, there is a small bell hanging in a little belfry”. Kistata’s small 75 m2 church was built in 1836. The protagonists on the altarpiece is the young St Anne with the new-born Mary in her arms. Next to them are the midwives, with a ribbon saying, “The holy Virgin’s name is Mary”. The men standing in the background are looking through the window in curiosity. One of them is obviously the father, St Joachim. The inhabitants of the open heavens are watching the event from above. One of the colourful panel paintings on the side panels of the simple pulpit is St Peter holding keys, another shows St Paul with his sword. The third image on the pulpit depicts the symbols of the three divine virtues (faith, hope and love) – the cross, the anchor and the flaming heart. Zoltán Závory’s painted ceiling shows the symbols of the Holy Spirit and the Eucharist.

King St Stephen donated the “income from the fairs or markets usually held in Szil” to the Bakonybél Abbey in 1037. At first, the worshippers attending the church consecrated in honour of St Wenceslas paid the tithe to the Premonstratensian provost in Csorna. Szil, a country town from the end of the 1400s, was one of the Kanizsay, Nádasdy and the Esterházy family’s most populous settlements. The demolition of the old All Saints’ Church and the construction of the new church took place under the guidance of the parish priest, Vince Csigi, over seven months in 1890. The monumentally sized, neo-Romanesque church designed by József Ullein was consecrated on 12 October 1890 by Bishop János Zalka. The statue of Jesus on the high altar was made by Károly Hild, a stonemason from Sopron. The gospel scenes on the side walls and the chancel arch were painted by József Samodai in 1964. The “Grove Mary” statue, found in 1777 in the neighbouring village of Kistata in the reedy grove next to the Linkó stream, stands in a columnal, canopied cabinet on the pillar opposite the pulpit. The picture of St Mary of Goretti at the entrance was painted by Masa Feszty.

Canon Mihály Wagnor, arriving to consecrate the church on 25 June 1939, was welcomed at the edge of the village by a procession of horse riders and a group of cyclists. The canon’s response to this welcome was to stress that “this small church means as much in local terms as a cathedral in the city rising to the sky”. The church was built according to the plans of Vince Schiel from Győr. There is an old stone cross on one side of its facade and a missionary wooden cross on the other while a statue of St Stephen the King stands above the entrance. Inside, there are paintings from unknown artists on the side wall of the nave: from the left, a copy of the painting of the Weeping Virgin Mary from Győr, from the right an unusual representation of St Joseph. The picture, which arrived in Sobor in 1968, depicts the young Jesus looking at his foster-father with eyes wide open as he is carrying him securely with his worker’s hands while between them there is a small crucifix, as a prevision of Jesus’s cross. The altarpiece depicting the triumph of St Michael over Satan is a marvellous copy of Hubert Maurer’s painting.

The village already had an Evangelical parent congregation in 1612. The congregation is currently a filial church belonging to Rábaszentandrás.The church was built in 1927. The timberwork of its furnishings (altar, pulpit, baptismal font and organ) is uniform in colour. The altarpiece shows Jesus praying on the night of Maundy Thursday. The same scene is depicted on a small wall tile image too, in which the sleeping disciples are lying down, as a side image, unable to keep vigil with their master in the background. The church’s organ was made in the workshop of Sándor Ménesi in Szombathely. The choir’s gallery is supported by cast-iron pillars.

The church consecrated by Bishop Vilmos Apor in 1943 was designed by Nándor Körmendy. The facade above the entrance is decorated with ceramics by Margit Kovács. There are two mosaics (St Anthony and St Teresa) and two paintings (St Joseph and St Philomena) in the vestibule. The entire wall surface of the church’s interior is covered with a polymorphic series of paintings by Istán Szőnyi. Six fresco scenes entitled “Christ triumphs in the world church” can be seen in the sanctuary. Three fresco secco scenes entitled “Hungarian church prays and works / our past, present and future” is featured on the nave’s huge wall. The holy church’s door is decorated with a relief of the Good Shepherd lifting the lost lamb onto his shoulder (Antal Borsa’s work). The sanctuary’s mosaic floor depicts, on the one hand, historical and 20th Győr’s building, industry and trade and on the other, the signs of the zodiac which come around again every year; reminding mortal man of the eternal God, who is above time (Géza Főnyi’s work). The relief on the altar of St Emeric was created by Miklós Borsos. There is a mosaic by János Pleidel on the baptismal chapel wall. Goldsmith artist Bandi Schima captures the baptismal scene on the chapel’s iron door.
