The cairn on the bank of the Moson Danube was once home to fairies according to the legend. Once, some fishermen who got caught in storm sought help from the fairies. One fairy let them into their tower, but the other chased them out. For this, the fishermen cursed the fairies saying that if their hearts were made of stone, then they should be transformed entirely into stone.

Bolgányi Bridge
The name of Kunsziget was once synonymous with high-quality produce and real parsley. Vegetables from the village were transported via horse-drawn carriages to the nearby Öttevény train station. The horse-drawn railway bridge leading toward Szigetköz, the Bolgányi Bridge is still used today. Centuries prior there was likely a toll collection station where the bridge stands today as well as the port. It thus made sense that the small railway line would cross the Moson Danube here. The bridge and the road leading up to it was renovated and expanded in 1994. The bridge gets its name from Bolgánypuszta, a municipality on the left bank of the Moson Danube, on the Dunaszeg side of the bridge. The bridge was last renovated in 2010 made possible by the joint efforts of the community.
Saint Lawrence Church
Kunsziget maintains a tradition that is rare within Hungary. The custom pays respects to the memory of the women who hurried to Jesus’ grave. On the dawn of Easter Sunday the “Search for Christ” begins at the stone cross located in front of the church.
Saint Lawrence Roman Catholic Parish Church
The Art Nouveau style building is one of the village’s architectural values. The parish house was built in the 1910s to replace the previous one that had stood here. However, certain former parish buildings were kept such as the outdoor summer kitchen, these are a rarity in the region. A barn with a “hat roof” was also built in the middle of the yard.
