History
It was consecrated in 1856 by Barinyai József from Vágújhely. The Chapel of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows and a well are halfway up the Calvary Hill. The water of the well is considered to have a healing effect. Originally wooden crosses stood on the top of the Calvary, which were later replaced by a stone chapel with open sides (it like a canopy). The statue of Piétá made by the Hungarian sculptor Rigel Lajos stands in the chapel.
