There have been people of the Jewish faith living in Darnózseli since the 1800s. The village worked as a center of sorts as it had a place of worship as well as a cemetery. The church, which was located on Fő (Main) Street, was demolished after 1945. The cemetery was opened in 1883 and was used for burial purposes until 1943. The municipality's young people (the 'New Mirror' Youth Club, the Hungarian Young Communist League's Basic Organization and the Szigetköz Dance Ensemble) put the cemetery in order from 1984-1985 and have been maintaining it ever since. Apart from this, a memorial has been erected to pay respects to the memory of the victims of the Darnózseli and Szigetköz deportations.

Saint Joseph's Church
Construction of the church began in 1929 according to the plans of Károly Pavlovics. The single-aisle and single-tower church bear Neo-Gothic characteristics. It was consecrated in 1930 by Cardinal Bishop Dr. Jusztinián Serédi. The construction of the funeral chapel's nave was commissioned by Katalin Hédervári Viczai Jánosné, however, it was completed by her son, János Viczai. The 18 m long, 8 m wide single-tower and the single-aisle church was consecrated in 1703. In 1929, the tower and the nave were demolished and only the apsis remained. Then in 1965, the apsis was renovated and the foundation walls of the 17th-century Baroque church were marked emphatically.
