Point of interest - Hédervár - Peregrinus Chapel
The roadside, octagonal Peregrinus Chapel was built in 1709 by Jób Viczay's wife, Eszter Ebergényi, in honour of the patron saint of foot-pain sufferers and travellers.
The local legend tells the story of the chapel in a different way: a lady of high rank came on foot from France to Hédervár, and because the journey made her tired, she collapsed on the way to the field town (where the chapel is). She was taken to the castle to be nursed. In a fever dream, St. Peregrin appeared before him and healed him. (Many hospitals around the world bear the name of St. Peregrine, a Servite monk who lived at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries and was an intercessor for gout sufferers, foot pain sufferers and cancer patients.)
