Sightseeings

The old rotunda is the most interesting sightseeing in the village. It had been built in the 11th century in the Medieval Hungarian Kingdom. The patrotinium was the Saint Cross. Later a chapel had been built to the rotunda in 1246. After the Turkish wars, a new church had been built in 1780 by Graf Ferenc Eszterházi, chancellor of the Hungarian Affairs at the Vienna Imperial Court. The village was moved in the Trianon Treaty to Czechoslovakia. This baroque church was demolished in 1937 and a new church has been built in 1938. However, the old rotunda was preserved and the murals were restored. Between 1967 and 1970 Vladimír Úradníček restored the murals. The medieval cemetery around the old church was used till 1775.
