The most famous building in Bodajk is the Miske Castle (formerly mistaken for Hochburg or Hochburg-Lamberg Castle) It was built between 1837 and 1839, in the classicist style, on behalf of József Miske .

The other main attraction, the Calvary of Bodajki, was built in 1736. The statue of the three crosses, Mary and St. John the Evangelist , stands on Calvary Hill.

There is a legend about the Holy Well here that its water drains every seven years and then restarts. The sacred well of Bodajk was surrounded by religious reverence, and its water was attributed healing power. According to tradition, St. Stephen and St. Imre also made several pilgrimages here , but St. Gellert and St. Ladislaus also visited here . The Great Baroque Church next to the well was consecrated in 1744 in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Great Church is a shrine to Mary , which pilgrims visit from Pentecost to the end of October. Next to the church is the Capuchinmonastery building, which is today a parish house, was built between 1744 and 1747, rebuilt in Baroque style and around 1860 in Romantic style.

In addition, the statue of St. John of Nepomuk in 1803 , in the late Baroque style, and the building of the town hall, which was built in 1820 in the Classicist style, are also interesting.

Lake Bodajki is also popular , fed by healing springs, as is the sacred well, so its water is great for treating various rheumatic diseases.

The spa became nationally known through the activities of István Széchenyi , a well-known lawyer in the capital, József Szekrényessy (1811–1877) , who rented it for a long time and flourished it in the 1850s, making it a sought-after health resort. His son, Kálmán Szekrényessy (1846–1923), the first Hungarian swimmer, the first founder of a sports magazine, our first Balaton swimmer, also turned several times in his father’s tenancy. 

There is also a ski slope nearby for winter sports lovers.
