Attractions in Tura

The Village museum built in 1905 was located in an old thatched-roof farmhouse, in its conventional style, and opened its gates to public in 1989.

Visitors might have a look at the beehive oven and a cooking-range in the old building, together with the authentic Tura costumes found in old commode drawers and in tulip cases characteristic of the era. A little exhibition is also located in the farmhouse, where one can admire the tools of agriculture that remained from the good old days.

In the 14th century there was a roman type church already, where the local Roman Catholic Church stands today. It attained its present form in 1972. From 1983 until 1987 it was fully renovated; the colorful windows and the lighting were designed by Asztrik Kákonyi Franciscan father. The restoration of the organ finished in 1994 based on the plans of Bertalan Hock, carried out by Frigyes Paulus.

The two-storey baroque-style Granary - standing few hundred meters from the palace - was built around 1808. There were tiny belt-framed and bigger keystone framed windows installed on the pitched roof art-relic buildup, while a baroque stone-framed entrance was opened on the centerline of the street façade. The building belonging to the Schossberger manor was later taken over by the Pest County Wholesale Company (Pest Megyei Terményforgalmi Vállalat), then by the Co-operative of Tura in the Galga region (Turai Galgamenti Szövetkezet).

Lake Kónya is the popular sight where residents - adults and children as well - go boating and fishing in the summer, and skating in winter on the frozen surface.

The Tura Meadow is also worth mentioning, since it is a Nature Reserve. The 14-hectare area can be found South-East from Tura, along the stream Galga. Its characteristic plant is the Spring Meadow Saffron (Bulbocodium vernum). Since this plant became a strictly protected species due to its lack of habitat, the area cannot be visited.
