Which places tell the story of the town’s history?
A memorial room in the Szarka Mihály Közösségi Ház, a public museum exhibition venue, commemorates former owner Szarka Mihály. In the 1850s, he was a colleague of Arany János at the Nagykőrösi Református Gimnázium. The memorial links a local figure to a specific professional chapter from that period.
The round Catholic church is also a distinctive architectural landmark. Built to designs by Török Ferenc, it was consecrated on 15 May 2004 in honour of Boldog Apor Vilmos. The pictures on the church walls are by local artist and teacher Tóth Tibor.
Finds uncovered during excavations in the 1920s and 1940s at a church ruin, a cemetery and manor-house ruins were covered over again for preservation. A cross erected by the municipality marks the site of the church ruin. The cross is therefore the described point of reference for finding the site; the excavated finds themselves are covered over again.
