Csempeszkopács is a village on the main road 87 and the Rum-Szombathely cycle path, its main attraction is the Romanesque church built in the 13th century, which has many similarities with the much larger church of Ják.

The shrine is located in the former village of Csempes, on the Árpád Square, on an artificial hill. According to the descriptions, the east-facing building is one of the most precious gems of the Romanesque village churches. It was built using large Roman bricks found on the site. The brick building was originally intended to be unplastered, as evidenced by the profiled brick plinth and the dentil arched cornice with wolf's teeth. Only the window headers are made of stone. There is one slit window in the sanctuary and two in the south wall of the nave.

According to historical records, the western tower with its separate entrance was built at the end of the 13th century: its two twin windows have four columns on openwork leaf stems, a unique solution among the Romanesque monuments found so far.

Every year in the middle of June, the Medieval Fair Day is held in the square around the church, reviving old traditions. Old craftsmen and traditional groups perform, and there are also many activities for children and adults.

There is also a small brewery in the village, producing craft beers.

In the video, Róbert Krenner, the mayor of the village, presents the village, where besides the church, the renovated railway station and the Pungor Zoltán Pungor Museum in the Balogh-Sarlay Castle are worth a visit.

The attractions can be visited by prior arrangement, more information and contact details here:
