Lutheran Church of Lébény
Built in 1795 with donations from the Lutheran congregation. Its Baroque furnishings were purchased from the Cappucine monastery in Mosonmagyaróvár that ceased to function in 1782. This is when the altar and the gallery, originally shorter, that we can see today and are connected to the pulpit, were constructed. The church was renovated on the 100th anniversary of its consecration. The old tower with its steeple was demolished and a new one with a Baroque style steeple was constructed. The interior was renewed as well with a new baptismal font and chandelier as well as a new crucifix for the altar. At this time, a marble plaque with a quotation from the Book of Psalms and the date of the church’s reconstruction was placed above the entrance. In 1987-88, the church’s exterior was newly plastered and the steeple was demolished to be rebuilt in its original form..
Roman Milestone
The Roman commander Tiberius conquered Pannonia in 9 AD and Transdanubia as a part of the province of Pannonia became a part of the Empire as a border province. In the 2nd century, a Roman military fortification was built in Barátföldpuszta, which belongs to Lébény, as a part of the border protection system. The milestone which once stood on the road by the fortification was recovered from here during the course of archeological excavations. The stone column, an artifact upholding the memory of times long past, today ornaments the yard of a primary school.
World War II Memorial
On May 23, 1992, a memorial for the local soldiers who had lost their lives in the Second World War was consecrated. The memorial was designed by László Bujtás. The three columns of black granite sheets uphold the memory of the citizens of Lébény who had fallen victim to the devastation of the war. Of them, 89 are war heroes, 21 are civilians and 19 Lébény citizens of Jewish faith who lost their lives in the concentration camps.
