The village got its present name after the merger of Nemesvis and Káptalanvis in 1928. The first record of St. Andrew's Church in Káptalanvis dates back to 1651. The church visible today is an 18th century baroque building. The altarpiece depicts the glorification of St. Andrew, and is framed by statues of St. John Nepomuk, St. Elizabeth, St. Imre and St. John the Baptist. In the stone fence of the church there are several Baroque tombs.
St Andrew's Church was built in 1867 and extended in 1912. The ceiling paintings were made by József Samodai.
