The village has a church from the Árpád age, dated to the 13th century on the basis of architectural style elements, and which was mentioned in charter in 1430. In the 15th century the landowner was the Meszlényi family. In 1592 the church became the property of the Reformed Church. It was also the place of the county council and local parliament in 1598 and 1599. In the 18th century the Roman Catholic Church took back the church.
