The Reformed church built on the area surrounded by retaining walls in the center of the village is one of Tök’s historical monuments.
Following multiple extensions to the medieval predecessor of the sacred building, it took on today’s Baroque form in the second half of the 18th century.
The ornament of the church interior is constituted by the painted wooden ceiling made in 1740 by painters and carpenters from Révkomárom and a master carpenter from Páty, and it was returned to Tök, at least in replica form, after a long, adventurous journey. This was demolished in 1900 because of its dilapidated condition and was sold to the Museum of Applied Arts. 15 restored signboards decorated the museum’s “Hungarian Room”, and were later installed in the ceiling of the music room of the Bartók Memorial Museum. They have since been removed from this site and returned to their owner, the Museum of Applied Arts. However, a replica was produced and installed in the original wooden ceiling when the church was restored. The inscribed, painted, wooden signboards visible on the church wall commemorate the construction works of 1784 and 1802.
