Roman Catholic Church of Saint Emeric

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Emeric (Szent Imre) in Endrőd was built in 1804 in Late Baroque style. Its patron saint is Prince Saint Emeric who also figured on Endrőd's old coat of arms. The vintage church pews are registered monuments and are especially valuable. Its first foundation stones were laid on 6 November 1798 as the old church in the Templom-zug was too close to the Körös River (only 8 paces away) thus it was in constant danger of flooding. The new church was placed southwards from the old one and farther from the river. Its benediction took place on 5 November 1804 and it was consecrated on 9 May 1824. The stone statues of Saint Peter and Saint Paul were made in Eger in 1808 and placed in niches on the forefront of the church. In those days the church had five bells from which only three are functional today and these are the Saint Stephen, Saint Emeric and the so-called Death bell.^[6]

Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church

In Gyoma there is a mighty edifice standing out loftily, the Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church. It's the Jerusalem of the local Roman Catholic community. On the 8th of April, 1848 a huge fire burst out and the Catholic Church burnt down to the ground along with its parish and many houses. The new church and presbytery was established in 1862. The foundation stones of the current church were laid on 1 May 1877 according to the design of Alajos Hauszmann, professor of the University of Technology. With the plans there were documents enclosed conveying information on the erstwhile circumstances of the era and disclosing the names and data of religious and secular magistrates. The church was built in Neo-Renaissance style and the high altar picture depicts the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It has a painted coffered ceiling and in the altars the relics of Saint Innocent and Saint Faustina are to be found.^[6]

Reformed Church

The building of the church took 22 years. The foundation of the tower was laid in 1791 but we have no written records of the builders. Though the foundation of the nave was laid only in 1807 they had started to build it already from 1805. It was consecrated on 8 August 1813. The pipe organ was designed by Zsigmond Papp stonemason master (an amateur carver, painter, and sculptor) and was built with the assistance of a master woodworker. The oak doors of the church were also carved by Zsigmond Papp.^[6]

Lutheran Church

In 1830 the Town of Gyoma resettled Germans next to the Hungarian population in order to rise to the rank of a market-town and thus have the right to open a market. The German settlers received parcels with gardens in the so-called “German district” free of charge. The churches and schools received free building sites from the squire and also land to be cultivated to support themselves in the Német-zug. The newly formed Lutheran Congregation of Gyoma got its own pastor. The construction of the building was finished and consecrated in 1862 by the Germans migrated here from Mezőberény, Szemlak and Vadkert. The whole furnishing had been completed, the bells cast and installed when in 1887 the church tower took fire. The roof and interior of the church burnt out and had to be rebuilt. It was finished by 1888 and the church was consecrated again. In the garden of the Lutheran Church there are two memorials displayed. One plaque is erected for the memory of the slave-laborers deported to the Soviet Union and of those fallen in World War II. The other one is placed for our brethren who died a glorious death between 1914 and 1918 in World War I.^[7]
