The Roman Catholic church of Rábapatona was constructed by the landowner, the collegiate church of Győr, in 1657. The church, which does not have a tower, was surrounded by a stone wall at the time for defense purposes. The church tower was substituted with a belfry built outside of the wall. The chapter had the place of worship which had been damaged during Rákóczi's War for Independence, reconstructed in 1723. A tower was built from the demolished wall. The building was severely damaged in the earthquake of 1810, thus the Győr chapter had the church reconstructed from 1828 to 1830. At the beginning of the 20th century the church already proved to be too small and the old building was demolished in order to build the transeptal Neo-Romanesque church which stands there today.

World War I Memorial

In 1927, the municipality of Rábapatona built a memorial to honor their heroes who had lost their lives in WWI. Originally located on Hősök tere (Heroes' Square) where the office of the local government is today, the monument honoring the municipality's war heroes was made by the artist Adorján Horváth. The statue was transferred from its original place to the churchyard in 1959. The base of the memorial reads: „'It cannot be for nothing that so many hearts bleed.' To the sons of Rábapatona who died heroically in the 1914-1918 World War from the patriotic citizens of the municipality.”

Statue of the Trinity

The statue depicting the Trinity was commissioned by the citizens of Rábapatona in 1898 in honor of the Hungarian Millennium. The statue originally stood in front of the school's main entrance in the square that was named for it. In the 1960s the statue was moved a few meters from public property to the fenced in churchyard located in the western corner of the square.

Dr. Ferenc Fábián Historically Furnished House and Community Center

The real estate that is home to the historically furnished house was purchased in 1933 to be used as a doctor's office and Dr. Ferenc Fábián began his practice there in 1939 as the first physician to actually reside in the village. The house also functioned as the doctor's residential home. Lászlóné Kertai, a teacher, began the collection of the village's historical objects in the 1980s with the enthusiastic help of her students. The ethnographic exhibition showcases the tools of farmwork and fishing once used in the village, the objects of religious life, the old rural kitchen and the so-called „clean room” (This was a room of the house that was kept furnished, but unused and always clean. The room was religious in nature and often included an altar. The “clean room” was used for important occasions, such as weddings and wakes.) Apart from the historical objects, visitors can view many interesting written records and photographic materials.
