This view of Mucsi is taken from St. Istvan Church.


Mucsi is known for its rolling hills and farm land.


1795, This statue of St. Florian stands prominently along the road. He is a Christian saint and the patron of fire fighters and chimney sweeps.


This statue of Saint John Nepomucen is located at the lower part of town next to the bridge that crosses the creek. He is the patron of confessors and bridges.

Like many early Catholic villages, Mucsi has several large crosses in different locations in town. These reminded people of  their Christian faith.

Memorial on the front of St. Istvan Church lists the names of men from Mucsi who died in World War I. 

On the right side of the front door of St. Istvan another plaque lists the names of more men who died. 

This simple sign along the road welcomes visitors to the village of Mucsi.

As visitors leave Mucsi, the back of the sign wishes them a fond farewell.

Vew from the front shows the new Mucsi cemetery in another part of town.


The rectory for St. Istvan Church was completed in 1745 as noted on the plaque on the side wall.


The large monument recalls those men from Mucsi who died in World War II. 


This older home shows the typical Donauschwaben style for homes with a porch the length of one side.

All the residents of Mucsi have a garden where they grow vegetables for their own meals.


Most of the homes in the villages have colorful flowers growing around the yards.


This newer home in town still illustrates the style of the Donauschwaben immigrants.
