Kaposvar Historical Site
Kaposvar, one of the first Hungarian settlements in Western Canada, was founded in 1886. The Kaposvar Historical Society is responsible for the preservation, restoration, and maintenance of the Kaposvar Historic Site, which includes a stone church (built in 1907), a rectory (constructed in 1900), a Grotto (created in 1942), and a cemetery established in 1886. The site reflects the history of early Hungarian settlers, featuring artifacts from that era. Additionally, a homestead site was added in 1986, which includes a pioneer house (1905), barn, millhouse, and a rural schoolhouse, offering a glimpse into the pioneer life of the time.
Located 5 km south of Esterhazy on grid 637, the historic site is open for guided tours from mid-May through September, as well as by appointment. Visitors can explore the historical structures and learn more about the settlement. Every year on the third Sunday in August, a pilgrimage is held at the Grotto, and in 2007, the stone church celebrated its centennial.
