The minister Gábor Horváth worked for 39 years serving the village, he is responsible for building the Heroes’ Garden and in it the Chapel of the Peregrinus Wanderers as well as the expansion of the local school. The chapel’s statue was stolen in the late 1960s and has not been recovered since. A statue was placed on public property depicting a soldier returning from the war holding a military flag. The chapel was reconsecrated in 2014, the Saint Peregrine statue was put back into its place and two plaques were set in place in the Heroes’ Garden to honor the memories of the World Wars.

800 Year Memorial
When entering the municipality from the direction of Szigetköz, where the smith’s workshop once stood, a memorial park honors 800 years of a craft that has defined the lives of the municipality's residents and provided them with a livelihood. The sword points to long-lost arts such as swordsmithery as referenced by the name of the municipality. The village was part of Saint Laslo’s border protection system, a link on the chain of the western border. The boat expresses the closeness of the Moson Danube, the defining role water played in the life of the community. Fishing and river transit meant the livelihood of the village residents for centuries.
