The medieval Hungarian name of the settlement was Bajka. After the Turkish invasion of 1532, Croats were settled in the village, whose descendants still preserve their mother tongue and customs.
The church of St. Martin on the edge of the village is of medieval origin. The Baroque altarpiece depicts the division of the mantle. The wall paintings in the sanctuary and on the ceiling depict scenes from the legend of Saint Martin - Martin baptising his mother, Martin raising the dead young man, Martin's dream. The murals were painted by Zoltán Závory (1906 - 2000). On the north wall is a wooden statue of Bishop Saint Martin.
