The memorial to the victims of the Second World War is one of the local sights of Vrbová nad Váhom. The commemorative wooden pillar of the microregional association Most priateľstva was erected in 1998.

Feszty Árpád used a small farmhouse in the marshlands of Kingyes as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the capital and created numerous paintings there, including some of the preliminary sketches for the panorama “The Arrival of the Hungarians.” The former Feszty House is located in Kingyes next to a small lake. In 2014, the former Feszty farmstead in Kingyes was no longer preserved. The surviving building of the Feszty studio was gradually deteriorating in 2014.
