Saint Anthony’s Chapel

According to legend an old hen dealer was swept away by a sudden flood in the beginning of the 1600s. The villagers in punts hurrying to help him saved the dealer who had a statue erected on the place of getting ashore as gratitude and to pay tribute to Saint Anthony.
The Hungarian translation of the Latin inscription on the statue says: pledged by Ferenc Boros in 1680 to be erected in honour of Anthony of Padua. A chapel was built here in 1928 from the estate of Kata Bors. The artesian well providing good drinking water found near the chapel which is standing in the parkland next to the crowded main road and bike path is a popular stop for thirsty bikers and drivers coming this way.
