King St. Stephen’s chapel and the cemetery around it

The footing of the church built in the second half of the 11th century was excavated near the highway, in the north-eastern part of the island. Regretfully, there are no written documents about this building, so the patron saint of the church is unknown. Its entrance is via its southern sidewall, while its gallery rests on the western terminal of the nave. It was built of stone, the Roman stones used for construction were carried here from the near Fenékpuszta. It served as a church for the community of the bailiffship; it has been out of service since the second half of the 13th century. In the cemetery encompassing nearly 700 graves around the church the women and maidens were buried with simple jewellery typical of the age. The chapel anointed in honour of Saint Stephen, the first Hungarian king was erected in 1996 on the footing of the church dating to the Árpádian Age.
