Roman Catholic Church

It was designed by architect Bertalan Árkay. Interestingly, this is the only red stone church on the south coast. Its interior decoration, glass windows, the mosaic above the altar, and the paintings preserved here all represent an unparalleled artistic value. – already in place of the XI. century, there was a basilica erected in honor of St. Clement, where the relics of the martyred pope were kept. The remains of the walls of the old basilica were incorporated.

St. Donat Chapel

The baroque chapel dedicated in 1758 in honor of Saint Donatus, the patron saint of winegrowers, decorates Kishegy like a small jewel with its interior design and late baroque wooden altar. Perhaps it can be stated without exaggeration that this is the most beautiful monument chapel in Somogy County, the St. Donat Chapel in Kishegy, named after St. Donat "the lightning-wielder" (patron saint of grape growers). The integration of the tiny building into the landscape and its architectural design are both extraordinary. According to Tibor Koppány, it was built in 1757-58 by Julianna Sztranyay Tóti Lengyel on their family vineyard. However, according to Péter Tóth's study: "The Baroque chapel in Kishely is mentioned for the first time in the 1815 annual church visit report. According to this, it was built by Baron György Majtényi, but no one could answer when." The chapel had no property, but the landlord, Count Ferenc Széchenyi, provided it with everything it needed. Mass was held there twice a year: on the day of St. Donatus and St. George. Today, mass is held here only on Saint Donat's Day - during the wine week.

Ruined church in Rádpuszta

On the banks of the Tetves stream we find the XIII. The ruins of a late Romanesque church built in the 16th century. It has been excavated and preserved, as well as some old tombstones. Nowadays, it hosts cozy music concerts on summer evenings.
