St Michael’s Church

The oldest mention of the village’s first church can be found in a charter from 1366. The Turkish wars and the Austrian incursions badly damaged the church; according to the 1713 canonica visitatio protocol, it was in a ruined, wretched state. The current church was built between 1801 and 1810, halted due to the difficulties caused by the wars with the French. Its plans were drawn up by Szombathely master builders, János György Anreith and János Ziegler. It’s a one-naved simple Baroque building with a central tower and north-south orientation. The steeple was added in 1870. Stone statues of Saint Joseph and St Michael carved by Ignác Ráday of Celldömölk adorn the facade’s recesses. The neo-Baroque high altar dates from 1912.
