Attraction - Rajka - Lutheran church
There was an Evangelical church in Rajka as early as the 17th century, but it was destroyed during the Turkish attack on Vienna. During the Counter-Reformation, Evangelicals were not allowed to build churches, leaving the congregation of Rajka without a church.
With the relaxation of religious persecution, designated articular settlements were allowed to build churches, but only in secluded places, without a tower, and with no street frontage. The church was built in the Baroque style after Joseph II's decree of 1784, as the Gothic-lettered plaque on the façade attests. The altar, pulpit and baptismal font are late 18th century plaited work. In the mid-19th century, the church was provided with an interior choir, whose supporting structures and stair rails are a rarity. The tower, somewhat alien to the church, was added in 1923.
