The small church built around 2 km northeast of today’s village could once have been the parish church.
The architectural relic located on the Ruined Church path guides visitors back to the Middle Ages; construction dates back to the Arpad era.
The Roman-style, single-nave church from one single period must only have been in use for a short time, as it did not survive the Turkish occupation, according to architectural findings. A semicircular shrine (apse) is attached to the rectangular layout nave, but its ascending walls have crumbled in several places. The still standing walls are 5-6 meters tall. One special feature of the single-nave church is constituted by the two quarter-circular closed recesses in the two walls opposite the nave, both of which have a side altar. Their imprint or foundations emerged during excavations. The archaeological excavation and partial restoration of the ruins subject to monument protection were carried out in 2000, the millennium year.
