Discover Tök: Baroque church, church ruins and wine

Tök combines a Baroque Reformed church and medieval church ruins with winegrowing, local history and local traditions. To help you choose what to focus on, here are the key differences: the churches represent different historical periods, while the museum, wine experiences and equestrian tourism offer further insights into the town.

Churches from different periods

The Reformed Church of Tök is a Baroque church built in 1784 and has been protected as a national monument since 1958. Its tower dates from 1802. The church also houses a red marble communion table bearing the date 1852. The building, tower and furnishing therefore each offer their own historical points of reference: the tower is dated 18 years later than the church building, while the communion table bears a later date still. The church and its furnishings thus tell a story not of a single year of construction, but of several distinct elements from different periods.

The church ruins at Rossztemplom-dűlő in Tök mark a different era: the monument dates from the 13th century and belongs to the Árpád era. Unlike the Baroque Reformed church, it refers to a place of worship built several centuries earlier. The Mária Pilgrim Route runs along the south side of the ruins; the site is connected to the route and can be visited as a sacred stop along the way. The rehabilitated grounds provide long-term access to the ruins from two sides. Those interested in the history of sacred architecture will therefore find different points of interest here: a Baroque church with dated furnishings and medieval ruins along the pilgrimage route.

Local history and traditions

The Falumúzeum in Tök features a permanent local history exhibition as well as temporary exhibitions. The permanent exhibition gives the museum a lasting connection to local history, while the temporary exhibitions provide changing themes. In this way, the museum complements the architectural landmarks with its own perspective on the history of the town.

The harvest parade and harvest ball are also among Tök’s local traditions. Both help preserve and maintain local customs. If you would like to plan your trip around one of these events, check the event dates in advance.

Winegrowing, tours and tastings

The vineyards in Tök are part of the Etyek-Buda wine region. Nyakas Cellar mainly produces fresh, reductively made white wines with pronounced aromas and flavour nuances. The winery offers tours and wine tastings for small groups of up to twelve people. Kovács Pince regularly holds wine tastings and wine dinners. The cellar is located in the row of wine cellars on the outskirts of Tök. The format is a useful point of difference when comparing the offerings: Nyakas describes tours and tastings for small groups, while Kovács Pince combines tastings with wine dinners.

Experience Tök on horseback

Visitors can also explore the surrounding area on horseback; Tök is known for its equestrian tourism. This offers a different way to experience the local area alongside churches, the museum and winegrowing. Together with the pilgrimage route, the town offers a range of themes that you can make the focus of your trip, depending on your interests.
