Church ruins of Ecsérpuszta

The stone structure displays three naves, an arched sanctuary, and remnants of a tower at its western end, reflecting medieval architectural elements.

Built during the Árpád dynasty, the church served the village of Ecsér until 1548 when Turkish forces burned both the settlement and religious building.

The discovered fresco fragments depict Saint Christopher, indicating the church's dedication to the patron saint of sailors in this Lake Balaton region.

The archaeological site stands in an open field near railway guard house number 49, with free access for visitors throughout the year.

Four inscribed Roman stones were found within the church ruins, suggesting the reuse of materials from an earlier Roman structure at this location.
