This building used to be a synagoge before WW II.

Jewish people also practise their religion now in Hungary but in Kalocsa there is no longer a Jewish community. That is why it is used as a library.

It was out of use for a long time, but now it is the biggest library in Kalocsa.

This building was constructed in Transylvanian style.

It used to be a Unitarian church.

There are no followers of this religion any longer in our region.

After a long time the local government had it renovated.

Now it serves as the Museum of Dunapataj.

Our village organizes exhibitons and classical concerts in this building.
