History
On the verge of the town, at the confluence of the Belkény and Várpatak streams, the ruins of the castle of Hiripné, later Both, can be seen on a rocky peak. Its origins are unknown. In the early 14th century, the ruins of the castle were used to build a castle, which became the property of the Both family at the end of the 17th century. During the Hungarian War of Independence led by Rákóczi Ferenc II (1703-1711), the castle was destroyed by the imperial troops and has been ruined ever since. In 1933 a small chapel was built in its centre.
