Sárbogárd

Adony stands on the western bank of the Danube south of Buda. A Roman fort once occupied this stretch of the river frontier, and a later settlement developed in the same riverside country. Ottoman conquest and the wars that followed altered the population of the district. In the early eighteenth century German settlers established themselves at Adony; within a decade they had built a church, completed in 1723. Their community became a prominent part of the market town's life in the generations that followed.
