Public sculptures and “Sacrality” exhibition

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.
