According to the roman catholic church visit report of 1697 István Török had the two altars and the sacristy of the Lutheran church of Szentandrás dismantled. He sought to make this previously catholic church fit for the exercise of the more puritanical Lutheran faith. The church as is today was built after the issue of the decree of tolerance of Joseph II with a single nave, late-Baroque, neogothic façade and tower. It was sanctified on 12 June 1785. Neogothic gates lead to the nave and the gallery on both sides. Its altarpiece made in 1871 depicts Christ on the Mount of Olives. The baptismal font is an 18th century artwork. The pneumatic “valve chest” organ was manufactured by József Angster and his son in 1906. The bell and the wrought-iron fence were made in the workshop of Frigyes Seltenhofer in Sopron.
The former church was mentioned first in a deed dated in 1438: “Szentadrás puszta has a stone church with a stone tower”. The ceiling of the tower and the nave of the church, which is still standing today and was built in 1750 in Baroque style to pay tribute to Saint Andrew, has a Bohemian vault. There is a wooden relief depicting the crucified Saint Andrew above the simple altar table, with the statues of Saint Anthony to the right and Saint Joseph to the left. The “Sacrifice of Abraham” on the tabernacle door of the main altar was made around 1800. The wooden relief of the pulpit depicts John the Baptist. The ceiling pieces of Jenő Bíró, an artist of Pápa, document the Eucharist in the sanctuary and the Holy Family in the nave. A crucifix built in 1909 stands in the churchyard.
The most notable sight of the village on the side of the River Marcal is the Arpad-era church which has certainly stood there before the Mongol invasion. The small round church built in the 11th-12th century was later extended by three horseshoe arches. The village was donated to Gregory of the Osl clan by a deed of King László IV. dated in 1287. In the 18th century a tower was added to the house of worship having a clover-shaped layout. The church was once surrounded by a cemetery and a stone wall. The village was threatened several times by the flood of the River Marcal and the River Rába – in addition to the Mongol and Turkish destruction. Therefore, the church’s altarpiece depicts Saint Nicholas, the helper of people threatened by floods, and he also became the “eponym” of the village as well.
In the mournful year of 1594 the Turks destroyed most of the villages of the Little Hungarian Plain, slaughtered, persecuted or kidnapped their residents, and invaded the Castle of Győr. So-called crosses of Győr were erected throughout Europe in honour and memory of the victory of the Christian armies, and of the 1598 recapture of Győr which had a key role in the protection of Vienna. One of these is the Picture Column in Rábaszentmiklós. The square-shaped, slate-covered “three-story” tower decorated by a cross was renovated in the beginning of the 1990s. Then, new paintings of Zoltán Závory were placed in the top compartments of the picture column: pictures depicting the Trinity, Our Lady Victorious, and the Archangels Saint Michael and Saint Raphael.
The limes protecting the Roman Empire run along the Danube in Roman times. One of its watchtowers (in Rajka) was transformed to a chapel in the beginning of the 14th century. The stubby tower and nave-like windows with foil arches are fine examples of the Roman and Gothic style. The Baroque nave of the church was added to this tower chapel after the Ottoman times. A statue of Saint Martin can be seen in one of the compartments of the front façade. Rich and noble German families were once buried in the crypt underneath the church, but two old tombstones can also be seen inserted in the external wall. The medieval statue depicting “Christ with a Toothache” was found nearby and was placed in the compartment above the side entrance. The 18th century calvary and a world war memorial adorned with an angel statue stand in the churchyard. The inside of the church is rich in statues and murals. Next to the Saint Martin painting of the main altar are statues of Saint Florian and Saint Catherine with a chained dragon. A bilingual tablet reminds us that Polish soldiers found solace and prayed for their home in this church in 1939. Another marble tablet lists the ancestors of Franz Liszt in Rajka and quotes the composer’s saying: “There is one doctor: Christ – and one medicine: eternity”.
Rajka already had a Lutheran church in the 17th century which was destroyed during the Turkish invasion of Vienna. At the time of the Counter-Reformation the Lutherans were not allowed to build churches therefore the congregation of Rajka was left without a church. With the weakening of religious persecution the designated articular settlements could build churches but only in remote locations, without towers, and the entrance could not open on the street. The church was built in Baroque style in 1784 after the patent on freedom of worship issued by Joseph II, which is also confirmed by the tablet with Gothic script on the façade. The altar, the pulpit and the baptismal font are end-of-the-18th century pieces in Louis XVI style. In the middle of the 19th century an inner gallery was added to the church, the supporting fixtures, banisters of which are a rarity. The somewhat extraneous tower attached to the church was built in 1923.
The retreating ancient Pannonian Sea created a tarn above the deep impermeable layers of rock in this area, of which several springs emerge around the village. One of the most famous of these is the Fountain of King Béla which is also the sacral symbol and emblem of Ravazd.The locals, the neighbours and passing travellers can draw from the cool water of the ancient spring celebrating the history of the thousand-year-old Hungarian village. The spring can be found at the Southern end of the village and comes from the 18th-century Baroque drinking fountain standing under the shady boughs of trees in the territory near route 82.According to medieval chronicles the army of Árpád the Conqueror, then the refugee King Béla IV during the Mongol invasion also took a rest at the spring which was given the name “The Fountain of King Béla” in memory of this. The water of the spring is also used today for the local bottled water named “Vis Vitalis”.
The church of three naves was already there in 1802. The painted altarpiece of Joseph Schmidt made in 1799 depicts Saint Martin as he shares his robe with a beggar. The two sides of the sanctuary’s mural depict the kneeling King St. Stephen and Prince St. Emeric. An accented element of the altar is an ark of the covenant with two angel statues and the tabernacle under a canopy. The relief depicting Abraham in process of sacrificing his son is seen on its door. The walls of the side aisles are decorated by two former altarpieces: the Immaculate Virgin on the left (the 1856 artwork of Frigyes Kriehuber), and Saint Villebald on the right (the 1841 artwork of Joseph Schöfft). Under the latter is a copy of the statue of Virgin Mary of Csíksomlyó. The four Lutherans of the statues of the dismantled pulpit were placed on the wall of the church. The ceiling piece of the nave is a unique artwork. The painting depicts Mary’s assumption into heaven in such a way that the sleeping Virgin Mother is raised to heaven by an army of angels while close observers could notice behind the mother’s lying and fainted body the loving face of Jesus watching over the event. The paintings of the stations of the cross were made by Károly Borbély in 2004.
The old church devastated by the Turks was rebuilt in 1760, then it was demolished in 1879.The current house of worship was built based on the plans of Ferdinand Handler in Neogothic-Romantic style. The Mary statue standing under the canopy above the tabernacle of the alter has a legendary story: the parishioners of Vimpác in Sopron County built the church in 1496. The peasants working on the bank of the River Lajta found a beautiful Virgin Mary statue which they placed on the altar of the new church. The statue was taken by one of the commanders of the Turkish army retreating from Vienna in 1529. The pasha became seriously ill, he almost died when one of the Hungarian prisoners advised him to return the statue and he would recover. The statue was returned and the pasha recovered. Amazing recoveries also happened in Vimpác. A Minorite Cloister was also built in the shrine in 1587. When Emperor Joseph II dissolved the religious orders, Minorites were also forced to leave Vimpác, thus, the Mary statue was taken to Röjtök.
Today’s form of the church built in 1752 was developed as a result of the extension and building of a tower in 1846. An atrium was built in front of the façade, the tower is covered by a stone roof. The organ standing on Tuscan columns was made in 1782 in the workshop of Fülöp König in Sopron. The altarpiece depicting the stoning of the martyr Saint Stephen was painted in 1911 by Károly Dodek who lived in Újbánya, Bars County. In the Queen of the Holy Rosary painting hanging on the side of the sanctuary Saint Dominic and Saint Mary of Árpád House kneel before Mary and the child Jesus. The two golden reliefs of the balustrade of the Baroque pulpit depict Saint Francis with his birds and the sower sowing Jesus. The parishioners deeply cherish the painting depicting Saint Rosalia of Palermo with a wreath of roses. The oldest of the sacral relics on the public square is the votive statue erected in 1717 – depicting Mary and the three helping saints (Sebastian, Roch and Rosalia) – which was erected giving thanks to the end of one of the plague epidemics. The 18th-century Pieta is a copy of the Mary statue of Sasvár in Upper Hungary which depicts Mary sitting at the foot of the cross and the dead Jesus lying in her lap wearing a crown. The Élő couple had a Mary statue erected in 1882 next to which they placed the statues of their patron saints (Anne and Joseph).
The building of the chapel was the idea of the local youth after they returned home from the Catholic World Youth Day in Cologne in 2005. The chapel was built with the partnership and support of several people by the selfless work of the locals. The chapel decorated by the artworks made in the “József Ferenczi” art camp in Sarród was sanctified in October 2007. The chapel built to pay tribute to Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and natural environment is part of the Mary Pilgrimage.The village’s second chapel was built in 2018 along the Mary Pilgrimage, which was named after Saint George, the patron of farmers.
The former Mekszikópuszta was one of the farms of the Esterházy estate. Its school had one classroom where the lower primary school students studied in the morning and upper primary school students studied in the afternoon. The classroom also had an altar which was covered by screen on weekdays and the chalkboard was hung on it. Following the nationalisation in 1948, the altar had to be removed from the school. The parishioners chose the old empty barn of the estate, fabricated benches and erected the altar there. The previous granary having a surface area of 200 square metres was sanctified in 1950 after its transformation in tribute to the Queen of the World. The statue above the altar depicts Mary holding the child Jesus in her arms as a queen (with a crown on her head and the sceptre of rulers in her hand). The place of worship which received wood panelling on the inside by the work of the residents of the dead end village, which is attached to Sarród, and has been named Fertőújlak since 1976 , received its current form as a result of its renovation in 2009.
