The village is a renowned place of pilgrimage. According to legend, Christian soldiers retreating from the Turks stopped to rest at the spring on the outskirts of Kálnok in 1529. Their wounds, which were cleansed by the spring water, were miraculously healed immediately. Soon afterwards, a fisherman found a wooden statue of Mary in the spring water. A small chapel was soon built near the spring. The present chapel was built in 1874 on the site of the earlier one.
The other church in the village was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The baroque building stands in the centre of the village.
