The Church of St. Martin is a Gothic-style monumental church in Bogács, dedicated to St. Martin in Tours, whose exact history and conditions of construction are unknown. The originally Romanesque church is probably a building almost the same age as the village, as at the first written mention of Bogács, in 1248, the church was already in its current location, although not in its current form, still bearing the name of St. George. The church is the only monumental building in the village, and at the same time an important tourist destination for visitors to Bogács. The statue of St. John of Nepomuk, next to the church, was made in 1824, by János Csiky Sr., and has been standing in the church garden since 1970, not far from the entrance.

In 2005, a statue of reverence, called Madonna Bogácsi, dating back to a special past, was added to the church. The origin of the 400-500-year-old statue is presumably England or Ireland, which first went to the Iberian Peninsula, and then to the Bogács monumental church through Bybil Nybérius, a Swedish citizen of Hungarian origin. A separate altar was erected for the object of reverence, and through the legends and special events surrounding the statue, it became one of the new sights of both the church and the village.
