After the Tatar Invasion, Béla IV traveled through Hungary several times to serve justice and put an end to abuse and misrule. He held a tribunal at the so-called Királyszék (King's Chair) located on the border of Győr in the direction of Ménfőcsanak in 1244. That day in history is commemorated with a stone cross marking where the King's Chair had once stood.

Ménfői csata emlékműve
On July 5, 1044, Péter, supported by Holy Roman Emperor Henry III defeated Sámuel Aba in what later became known as the Battle of Ménfő. An emblazoned marble block was erected in 1994 in the cemetery garden to commemorate the significant historical events of Ménfőcsanak, thus the Battle of Ménfőcsanak as well.
Bezerédj Castle
The castle, along with its manor buildings presumably constructed for the administration of the Ménfő plains, was built in late Baroque style. it achieved its present-day state in the 19th century when the classicist carriage way was constructed. The building has been serving public education since 1988. The library is located here and the Erzsébet Galgóczy Memorial Room was created here in 1991. The 100 square meter arched hall houses the artifacts of the study and so-called ‘farmer’s style room’ of the Ménfő native writer’s Budapest apartment.
Vince Sulyok Literary Memorial
The Vince Sulyok Literary Memorial is located in the Bezerédj Castle of Ménfőcsanak. Vince Sulyok, author, poet, literary translator and education historian wrote the majority of his works in Norway. A portion of these was transported back to Hungary during his lifetime, but the last of them only arrived after the author's death. The collection, comprising nearly five-thousand works, was established in the town of Ménfőcsanak bearing the name Vince Sulyok Literary Memorial in 2011. Apart from the poet's Norwegian and Hungarian language works, the collection includes many pieces of important literature by Hungarian emigrant writers.
