Zalavári Szent István Kápolna - Zalavári Szent István Kápolna

Árpádian Chapel. It is free to visit.

Located in the northeastern part of the island near the highway in XI. The basement of the church was built in the second half of the 19th century. Written memories unfortunately do not speak about it, so the patron saint of the church is unknown. From the excavation we know that its entrance was on the south side, its position on the west end of the ship. It was built of stone, and Roman stones were also used for its construction, transported from nearby Fenékpuszta. It was a temple of the peoples of the peasantry, as evidenced by the fact that the disappearance of the burial ground, It was not used since the end of the century. In the 700 grave cemetery surrounding the building, women and girls were buried with simple jewels of the era. Over the base walls of the Árpád-era church in 1996, the General Assembly of Zala County raised the chapel dedicated to King Stephen Stephen. source: nonstopbalaton
