Csengersima

Csengersima is a village in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, in the Northern Great Plain region of eastern Hungary.

The still-standing 13th century Romanesque church testifies to the existence of the village long before its appearance in writing.

In 1339, László Szárazbereki was executed by Charles I of Hungary for minting counterfeit money.

The village became depopulated multiple times throughout its history, including during Rákóczi's War of Independence, the 1709 plague outbreak, and the 1717 tatar invasion.

Its ceiling contains frescoes of the celestial bodies, flowers, old Biblical scenes in a beautiful drawing and colourful manner.
