St. Anna Church - Igal

The XV. century - built in Gothic style - Roman Catholic church, remodeled in 1756. The main altar, the pulpit and the baptistery are from the 18th century. century, baroque.

The tower of the Church of St. Anna in Igali is 43 meters high. On the outside, it really resembles the Andocs church built a few years earlier.

The organ with 13 registers was completed in 1883, and its maker was Sándor Ország, an organ builder from Budapest. The carved high altar and the pulpit and its sculptures of the same style are artistically outstanding.

The central figure of the image of the high altar is St. Anne, who is the patron saint of today's church, next to her husband, St. Joachim, and their daughter, the little Virgin Mary. Unfortunately, the creator of the image is unknown. It is also important to mention the image of St. Martin from the old church, which is really significant from an artistic point of view.

Calvary Hill 

In addition to its artistic and church value, the group of statues built on Calvary Hill is also significant from a historical point of view. Kálvária hill preserves one of the severe defeats of Rákóczi Kuruc's army in February 1707: deep in Vak Bottya, fallen soldiers of the imperial troops and local residents who fell victim to the battles were given a common, eternal resting place here. The remains of the destroyed buildings, which formed this small hill, were brought here.

The chapel on the Igali vineyard is only 1.5 km from the spa, which can be easily visited by anyone, even on foot, as part of a pleasant trip.  The more than 100-year-old Stone Cross on the vineyard and the St. Donat Chapel, renovated in 2014, can be reached with a pleasant walk. In the past, mass was held there twice a year: on St. Donat and St. George's Day, but today it can only be visited as an excursion site.
