- The town also has a monument commemorating the fallen soldiers of World War II. There is a wooden-framed Presbyterian Church next to the war monument. The church, designed by Péter Basa, is designated to commemorate the Hungarians beyond the borders.
- The Baroque Roman Catholic Church, consecrated in 1761, offers valuable sights, such as wall-paintings by Falconeri and a carved Baroque pulpit. The church has organised a Corpus Christi procession every year for more than 250 years. On this occassion, the pavement around the church is covered with flowers. The excavation carried out in the courtyard of the church in 1997 discovered the wall stubs of a medieval church that was very big for the size of Budakeszi. The excavation also brought to surface the basement of the old, Romanesque church and the rectangular nave that was later expanded towards the West. In the 15th Century the nave was expanded after the earlier, Romanesque church had been pulled down. Later, a Ghotic sacristy was attached to the nave with a tomb from the Roman Times displaying a hunting scene and a Roman-Time-altar stone incorporated into the walls. In the Middle Ages, the church and the cemetery built around the church was fenced off. The recent excavation has also discovered remnants of the wall of the earlier Baroque sacristy (with its two entrances). The excavation confirmed that the surrounding of the church, which has been the center of the village, has a history of a thousand years. The local government plans to establish a garden of ruins, and open an archeologic exhibition in the church courtyard. Most of the ruins will be displayed with a special marking at surface level, while the remnants of the Gothic nave might be turned into an open-air festival area with a small stage to be set up at the place of the earlier altar.
