Kőszeg

The origins of this town go back to the third quarter of the 13th century. It was founded by the Volfer family. In 1327 it was granted Royal status.
In the third wave of the great wars against the Turks in the 16th century, Kőszeg became the major flashpoint of the campaign of 1532. Under the leadership of the town and fort captain, Miklós Jurisich, a small garrison repelled the multiple outnumbered Ottoman army.
In 1695 the garrison and surrounding areas of Kőszeg fell into the hands of the Esterházy dukes, where it remained until 1931.
Kőszeg lost its leading role in the garrison county of Vas by the mid-19th century.
