The Louis seize style church was built in the late 18th century. At that time, the present Felső street was the main street of the village, and according to Joseph II's decrees, Protestants were only allowed to build the church 30 metres further down the street, with its back to the main street. History has served justice to the Reformed community in such a way that the lower street, closer to the river Bodrog, became the main route for the wine merchants, and eventually the lower street, going by the river, took over the role of the main street.

At the same time, the Rákóczi War of Independence determined the fate of the whole Tokaj-Hegyalja region - thanks to this, a life-size bust of Rákóczi, cast in bronze by sculptor Géza Balogh based on a painting by Ádám Mányoki is now featured in the centre of the village.
