Orsolya Bubryák started to work on the patronage of the Erdődy family in 2003. The brand new book on this topic presents the results of her research widen to the genealogy and the history of the Endrődy family. The dominant building is a renaissance-baroque Erdődy Castle built in 1720. The castle is built on the place of a pre-existing Slavic settlement and a medieval castle. In the castle area is the Empire theatre built in 1802, a riding school from the 18th century, and a Baroque garden pavilion. In the middle of St. Michael Square stands the Gothic church of St. Michael with its highly decorated portal. Next to the church is the Chapel of Saint Anna from the 18th century. In the northern border of the central part of the town is the Franciscan church and monastery built in 1492. Part of the monastery premises nowadays occupies the Museum of National History and Geography.
