The area was once covered by intertwined lomberd, and there were small settlements destroyed during the Tartar invasion. Their common place of refuge was two important castles in the region: the Vápa Castle and the Sólyomkő Castle.
Beekeepers formed the basis of the trousers' glass industry. The factory was located in the center of the village and developed around it, with its young workers. The factory operated intermittently until 1918. Particularly beautiful glass objects and Art Nouveau colored vases are kept here in the Szekler National Museum and in the family collection of the Fagaras family of Sepsiszentgyörgy.
István Sovánka, the greatest master of Transylvanian glassmaking, lived and worked here, who came here in 1908 and raised Bikidzad glassmaking to a high standard. He witnessed how the factory burned to dust following the arrival of Romanian troops. However, he did not want to give up the fight and even started making glass-head dolls.
The glass factory now has only one building, and its products are on permanent display at the local school.
There is also a memorial to the heroes of the two world wars, a carnivore monument and a carved belfry honoring the millennium of the Hungarian conquest.
The village's catholic church was built in 1867 in honor of the Assumption by the Count György Mikó.
Marked hiking trails from the village lead to Vápa Castle (blue dot, travel time: 1 hour) and Falcon Castle (yellow triangle, travel time: 1 hour), which stands on the summit of the Andesite rock above the river.
Part of the ruins of Vápa Castle, along with the mountain top, were blown up by a quarry operating there. The remaining walls of the early medieval castle are still visible.
Falcon's castle was an elongated brick, the details of which are still visible today. "The hunting falcons sent to the Turks from the burrows and stone cages of the rock wall were held together" - hence the name of the castle, wrote Ferenc Kállay.
The tourist attraction of the town is the Likas-stone, which is a wall pierced by the river water. During the construction of a dam, the Likas stone was partially damaged. It is a natural rarity and is therefore protected.
