history
Although small, Lónya played a historical role as the seat of the noble Lónyay family , who are important in the region and who also owe their family name to the place. At the end of the 14th century the village split into two settlements: in Kislónya and Nagylónya ; the Lónyay family lived in Nagylónya. In 1934 Kislónya and Nagylónya were reunited to Lónya.
Attractions
The village is small but has many attractions. The reformed Protestant church in Romanesque style with the painted coffered ceiling from the XIII. Century stands in the Kossuth utca 91. The church consists of one room, has no tower. The bell tower with four side towers from 1781, standing on a beamed base in the garden of the church, is an art monument. The trunk and roof are covered with wooden shingles, the helmet of the 26.5 meter high tower is adorned with four smaller towers - sohn's towers.
