Saint Miklosz Castle is a fortress, built in the XVth century in the Romanesque style.

Schoenborn palace was build by the Austrian-Hungarian Count Schoenborn as a hunting lodge in the end of XIX century in the style of Romanticism with the elements of gothic. Around the palace there is a well-curated park with the rare botanical species. From 1945 and on, the palace hosts a health resort for patients with cardiovascular diseases.
