Nyékládháza is a small town in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, northern Hungary, 20 kilometres (12 miles) from county capital Miskolc.

The area has been inhabited since ancient times; archaeological finds include an Avar cemetery.

The local Roman Catholic church was built and completely financed in 1943 by the landowner József Lenz (1897–1965), who was also commercial counselor and merchant.

József Lenz donated it to the town and to the church, and his son, vitéz József Lenz (1922–1942), who died during the World War II, is buried in the crypt of the temple.

His daughter, Klára Lenz (1924–2013) Gobelin tapestry artist, who was the wife of the Hungarian nobleman Endre Farkas de Boldogfa (1908–1994), Major of the General Staff of the Hungarian Armies during World War II, donated part of her tapestry collection to the town.
