Holy Trinity Church

The municipality is first mentioned under the name Németfalu in a charter dated in 1381. Vásárosfalu was the property of the Osl family and the Premonstratensian Provost of Csorna in the Middle Ages.
The small village had no church for many years, thus, the congregation could go to mass on Sundays to the churches of Pápóc beyond the River Rába, or to the nearby villages of Beled, Páli or Rábakecöl.
The Catholic church having a surface area of 60 square metres was built in 1714 according to the schematism of the diocese, and already had a wooden ceiling in 1733. Its tower was built in 1907. Its 18th-century benches were alleged to be brought from Kenyeri. There are Baroque wooden statues standing next to the altarpiece of the sanctuary depicting the Holy Trinity: the Holy Apostle Paul with a sword and Peter with a key in his hand. The stone cross in front of the church was erected in 1880.
