Armenian Church "St. Astvatsatsin" (Holy Mother of God). The built-in inscription tells the time of construction in 1834 by Armenian refugees. In 2001 it was repaired and renovated with a new bell tower. Marble slabs of Armenian princes and donors from the 18th-19th centuries with inscriptions and sculptural decorations are kept in the churchyard. In it, in 1849, Lajos Kossuth and his associates celebrated the Nativity of Christ.
