History
A Camaldolese monastery was established on this location, then part of the Habsburg-ruled Kingdom of Hungary, in 1710.
In 1782, it was secularized as part of Emperor Joseph II's campaign against monastic orders that, in his view, didn't pursue useful activities. The monastery building still exists however (see photo).
The present village was founded in 1828.
