Which cultural themes shape the village?
Honfoglalás Park features a Turul bird sculpture created by Zagyva László. It is surrounded by wooden statues of the seven chieftains; there are also depictions of Árpád and King István.

The Tájház combines knowledge-sharing and education with its role as a community hub for preserving traditions. It is furnished with objects collected and preserved locally. They reflect the area’s traditional material culture from a particular period.
