Ásványráró lies the central part of Szigetköz, next to the Danube, between Győr and Mosonmagyaróvár. In 1936, the two villages of Ásvány and Ráró were united.[4]

Sightseeing

edit
  • At the end of the village nearest to Dunaszeg, is the famous "Kálvária". Count Lázár Apponyi built it in Baroque style in 1738.
  • Near the "Kálvária", there stands the monument of the victims of World War II. József Somogyi (famous sculptor) carved out.
  • Near to Kálvária stands an old black aspen tree. It is 100 years old. Protected natural values. The diameter is ~550 cm.
  • Because most of the villagers are Roman Catholic (c. 96%), there are two (so-called) búcsú, of the village's churches. In Ásvány there is a church named for St. Andrew. It is 136 m2 from the 14th century. In Ráró there is a church named for St. Roch which is from the 17th century.
