In the folk-museum our guest can get acquainted with the local history and the tools of the peasant household. The house with the arched porch, free-chimney and thatch has reserved the traditional building style of the Balaton-region from the 1850'.

Roman Catholic Church
Balatonkenese, Táncsics M. u.10. Tel.: 06-88 481-146
The foundation-stone of the Roman Catholic Church was laid on May 11, 1815. The largest bell of the church is decorated with the pictures of King St. Steven and Pope Orbani. There are classic music concerts organised in the court-yard of the church during the summer.
Calvinist Church
Balatonkenese, Táncsics M. u.13. Tel.: 06-88 481-348
The Calvinist Church was built between 1658 and 1660 on the ruins of the Catholic Church standing here previously. The tower was built in 1739 to the western wall and was heightened in 1844. The tower's new wooden casque was covered with sheet metal and it was capped with a decorative ball containing a long shaped glass. Within the glass a memorial document was layed and it was sealed.
Soós-Hill
The adornment of the High-shore (Soós-Hill) at Kenese is the obelisk which had been established on the top of the hill in 1927 for the memory of Lajos Soós, Kenese's poet. Caves called "Tatarian-holes" can be found in the steep loess-wall, which were carved out by people escaping from the tatars and who found shelter during the later Turkish devastation.
Tatar bread
At the end of May and at the beginning of June flowers the Crambe tataria, an almost singular plant rarity in Europe. This approximately waist-high, plentifully branching lant covers the hill slope and the hill head at the beginning of the summer with its honey-scented blooms. The vernacular calls the cramble tataria also "tatar bread" or "tatar beet". It has a high ascorbic acid content and was consumed as delicacy in the 17th century in Transylvania. The plant was almost extinct by the 19th century and is strictly protected!
