Church of Saint Nicholas

This complex of Baroque churches is unique throughout Hungary and is considered to be one of the seven wonders of Győr-Moson-Sopron County. Even from afar, it is already an impressive sight with its 47-meter tower rising gracefully toward the sky and its two chapels. It looks like a mother with her two children.

The commemorative double cross

The local government of Lébény erected a memorial cross at the junction of Hunyadi and Dózsa György Street commemorating 2000 years of Christianity and the 1000th anniversary of the founding of the Hungarian state. The oaken memorial cross, with the year 2000 on the crossbar and the state coat of arms including the crown on the stipes was dedicated on October 7, 2000.

Varga Cross

The house that it stands in front of, the Kisbömbi Restaurant, was once the property of the Varga family and this is certainly where the crucifix got its name from. As to the year it was made, we have not data available to us. Archived documents attest that in the place where the crucifix stands today, there was already a wooden cross standing in 1780 at what was the lower border of the village. The cross today bears the year 1966 carved into it, marking the time the cross was replaced. The part close to the soil had deteriorated over the years causing the cross to topple over and necessitate the lower one-third of it being partially replaced in 2007. The figure of Jesus under the INRI signage was originally hollow tin painted gold in color.
