Points of interest

Lengyel's Apponyi Castle was built by Count Antal György Apponyi's third son József in 1824–1829 and extensively remodeled from 1878 by Sándor Apponyi. It suffered fire damage in 1905. After Sándor's passing away, his widow Countess Alexandra Esterházy donated the castle in 1926 to the Hungarian National Museum but kept the privilege of living there until her death in 1930. During World War II it was used by Hungary's National Cartography Office, then became a Russian military hospital from January to March 1945, and later that year an internment camp for displaced Germans. After 1946 it became an agricultural school.^[1] It is surrounded by 22 hectares of park with botanical rarities.

The village church has a crypt of the Lengyel line of the Apponyi family, with the tombs of Rudolf Apponyi and his wife Anna (née von Benckendorff) and of Sándor Apponyi and his wife Alexandra (née Esterházy).^[2]
