Consecrated in 1796, the onion-domed church bearing late Baroque characteristics stands beside the Erdődy–Hüvös manor house. Even without knowing the dedication of the Church built from big-sized, burnt bricks, one would easily identify the patron saint: statues of the Virgin Mary appear above the altar, in the former sacristy entrance, and on the wall along the staircase to the choir loft.

The church in Botfa was expanded with a sacristy in 1949, and two bells call the faithful to worship. The building plays a significant role in religious tourism, as the Marian Pilgrimage Route reaches Zalaegerszeg via Botfa. The Mindszenty Youth House, which also serves as a pilgrims’ hostel, is the starting point for “treasure-hunting” tours following the wooden and stone crosses of Botfa.

An aerial photograph of the Mindszenty Youth House reveals both the Erdődy–Hüvös manor and the Church of the Holy Name of Mary.
