Biatorbágy

Biatorbágy was formed by the union of the villages of Torbágy in the north and Bia in the south in 1966. The villages were first mentioned in 1192 as Biua and Torbágyerdő. Biatorbágy was elevated to town status in 2007.
Zsámbék has been inhabited since Paleolithic times. It has seen Celtic, Roman and Avar populations throughout its history, according to archaeological finds. A Celtic coach's remains were found there as well as a bronze trumpet.
In the 1180s Béla III of Hungary, granted land around the village to a knight named Aynard. Aynard's family built the Premonstratensian church beginning in 1220.
The church was destroyed in 1241 during the Mongolian invasions. Following the destruction, during the reign of Béla IV of Hungary, the church and monastery were rebuilt. Positioned at an important merchant route — halfway between Esztergom and Székesfehérvár and near Buda — the village underwent rapid growth.
An earthquake in 1763 ruined the church once again. It was not reconstructed after this horrific event. Settlers from Germany, who came to live in the abandoned village after the Turkish occupation, took the stones from the church and used them for building houses and fences. Many of the church's stones are still present in the walls of older houses.
