Ohrady – Hotel, Church, Cycle Paths and Islands

In Ohrady, the Roman Catholic Church of St. Stephen the Protomartyr is considered the oldest building. The church has the ground plan of a Greek cross, walls decorated with frescoes and ornate stained-glass windows. It was originally a Gothic church from the 15th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, it was restored, and in 1933 it was extended and rebuilt with a transept.

Culture

The women's singing group from Ohrady performs nativity plays and wedding customs. At the end of Hlavná Street in the direction of Dunajská Streda stands the Fehér kép wayside chapel.
