Reformed church

3752, Szendrő 2 Fő út

 The first written mention of the parish is from 1576. Because the Protestantism spread quite early here, locals from 5 villages went into the first reformed church built in the 1660s, the building site was donated to the church from the Lórántffy family. The historical studies proves that the campanile was built in this time which was not built together with the church in that time as well. The nave subsided for the middle of the 19th century and became dangerous therefore in the millennium year of the conquest a new but smaller church was built. The tower got its wooden gallery structure in 1786 and the years of the later repairs can be seen on it (1833, 1871, 1911, 2000, 2019). Three bells live in the tower, one which is 250 kg, one which is 116 kg and one which is 87 kg. The oldest one (250 kg) was casted in 1728 in Oláhpatak and it has a protection of historic buildings.
