The Our Lady of Hungary Co-Cathedral was built between 1902 and 1904. The neo-Romanesque exterior of the church, with its rich articulation, buttresses and decorative elements, is a remarkable work of Hungarian ecclesiastical architecture. The two towers of the building are a landmark of the town of Nyíregyháza.
The Evangelical Church was built from 1784 to 1786, but the congregation worked on its expansion until 1936, when it acquired its final appearance. In 1796 a tower was built, which was raised in 1825. Between 1850 and 1860, the facades were decorated in a classical and neo-baroque style, then in 1885-6 in an eclectic style.
While the Jewish cemetery of Laskod is not marked on the cadastral map of 1870, the earliest tombstone found in this cemetery dates to 1853. The cemetery was in use until at least 1921, which is the date marked on the latest tombstone found in the cemetery.
The Jewish cemetery of Nyírkáta was established as early as 1858, since the oldest tombstone found in this cemetery dates to that year. The latest tombstone was erected in 1941. The cemetery used to be divided into two separate sections, but they have since been merged and are now enclosed with one fence.
