This Roman Catholic church honors the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and was built in 1778 in classicist style using parts of the church that stood here before in. Its current form dates back to its reconstruction in 1927. The church is a pilgrimage site.

The municipality is almost certainly among the first villages to have a church, the word 'egyház' (Hungarian for 'church) points to this fact. The first mention of the church built in honor of the Saints Peter and Paul is in a certificate from 1253. The Romanesque style building with two towers was raised in the 13th century most likely on the site of a former church. The original Romanesque layout was kept over the course of its Gothic style reconstruction.

Writer and cultural politician Zoltán Jankó was born in Baka and spent his childhood here. A plaque in town hall set in place in 2006 honors his memory.
