Point of interest - Máriakálnok - Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary

According to one of the legends of the chapel's history, wounded soldiers and other sick people were cured by the water of the spring that flowed from there. According to other legends, a fisherman found a lime-tree statue of Mary and baby Jesus, and a soldier found a picture of Mary in the spring.

Around 1540, they were placed in the Protestant church, then in a cottage, and finally in a chapel built over the spring. In 1873 the chapel burnt down, but the image and the small carved statue survived. The chapel was rebuilt in 1874 in the neo-Romanesque style, with the statue of Mary holding the Queen's wand and Jesus holding the king's apple, both dressed in crowned robes. The water from the stone-covered spring beneath the sanctuary was piped to a well outside the chapel. In addition to the statue, there are six stained-glass windows and a painting by Feszty Masa of Mary and Elizabeth meeting.

The fountain and the statue attract thousands of pilgrims every year. The chapel is a megalithic monument listed in the Győr-Moson-Sopron County Register of Cultural Heritage.
