Péliföldszentkereszt Foundation: 1913 Péliföldszentkereszt (or simply "Szentkereszt") is a widely known place for pilgrimages from the 18th century. The temple's relic is said to contain two little fragments of the cross of Christ (as also its name indicates: "Szent" means holy and "kereszt" means cross). The relic was recently put in a new reliquary. From November 1913, the church and the monastery of Péliföldszentkereszt was given to the Salesians, as it was abandoned since 1906. The Salesians were also entrusted in 1915 with running the secondary school of the nearby village of Nyergesújfalu. In 1950, both buildings were nationalized. The pilgrim house became a prison and the monastery itself was made into a hunter's house of the communist Trade Union's. In 1992, the Salesians got the monastery back with its additional buildings. The Szalézi Irinyi Secondary School was only returned in 2001. Address:Szalézi Rendház 2533 Bajót Péliföldszentkereszt Head of the house:P.
