********
It is a widely known story of the saint who was born in Savaria (today Szombathely) around 316 that he cut his mantel into two and shared it with a beggar on a frosty day. This motive is shown on the seal of the diocese, and this was also chosen by the village to decorate its crest and flag. The building has a tower with clock-bracket and a semi-circle apsis, its nave has three dome sections, and it has organ gallery. Its interior is decorated with artificially carved wooden statues.
