In the centre of the village named Vaja, located on the border of the historical Szabolcs and Szatmár Counties, next to the medieval church, there is a the two-storey castle built at the beginning of the 17th century with two towers on its opposite corners. During the Rákóczi War of Independence it served as a venue for important meetings. Prince Ferenc Rákóczi II himself visited Vaja two times, and his visits were recorded in memorial plaques on the wall of the building. After the restoration of the Vay Castle, the Ádám Vay Kuruc Museum was opened in 1964.
