The Church of Our Lady of the Snows
In centuries past (1600) Dunaszeg had already had a church. According to tax records from 1658, the church was destroyed this year. In 1720, the Baroness Terézia Viczay commissioned a church to be built in its place. It was originally constructed in Baroque style but has been somewhat remodeled since. In his book, 'Monuments and Memorials in Hungary' István Genthon writes in the chapter on the monuments of Transdanubia: ''a Roman Catholic church with a tower preceding the facade and a sanctum enclosed by three sides of the octagon. A three-arched nave and sanctum. Baroque main altar and pulpit. Built in 1720.''
Memorial Park
The memorial park originally functioned as a cemetery. The Local Government established the Memorial Park in the place of the cemetery in 2003. A promenade with decorative pavement lined by chestnut trees donated by the American congregation leads from the church to the old memorials and the column erected by the local government. The Stations of the Cross are featured along the way.
Stationary Engine Collection
Located behind the Village Museum, these motors powered all sorts of work equipment (pumps, saws, grinders, grindstones, threshers, chaff-cutters and generator) at one time. These are irreplaceable items due to their age and status as technological rarities. These artifacts dating back 100 years represent the ancient times of the internal combustion engine.
