    Map
    Map of Martonvásár

    Martonvásár was first mentioned in 1268 as a market place. In the 1770s the area became under the control of the Brunszvik family. They began large-scale construction, building a Roman Catholic church and a Baroque palace (rebuilt in 1870 in neo-Gothic style). It is a great pride of the town that Ludwig van Beethoven was a guest here in 1800.

    Martonvásár was elevated to town status in 2005.
