The Roman Catholic church brings together two historical layers: it is said to have been built in the 17th century incorporating remains of a destroyed Romanesque church from the Árpád era. This origin is presented as tradition, not as a certain date for the older building. The exterior also has a specific feature: the church tower stands in front of the façade and has a pyramidal roof.

Another historical testimony is the stone cross with a corpus, made in 1749, on the road to Tát. The Szent Imre Chapel, in turn, was moved to its current location beside the cemetery to make way for a private construction project. It has largely retained its original form. The church, cross, and chapel thus represent different aspects of architectural history: a building incorporating older remains, a dated cross, and a chapel whose location has changed.

The row of cellars showcases a different, rural architectural style. It includes dated press houses with thatched roofs. The gables made of loosely joined wooden boards are also distinctive. Those interested in local architecture will find different building styles and historical associations here, which can be considered separately.

Two different routes are relevant for hiking. The Kinizsi Százas is a long-distance hike that passes through Mogyorósbánya. The Országos Kéktúra leads to Kő-hegy, southeast of the town. There is a freshwater limestone cliff there. From the summit, you can enjoy wide-ranging views of the Danube, toward Esztergom, of Hegyes-kő, and toward Gete.
