History of Páty in short

The village of Páty is located close to the -Zsámbék line and to the Budapest- Vienna motorway. The number of its inhabitants exceeds 6.000. Its hilly location in the Zsámbéki basin lays less than 20 kilometres from Budapest. The neighbouring villages are: Zsámbék, Budajenő, , Budakeszi és Biatorbágy. Budakeszi and the Zsambeki basin are bound by Mézes (Honey) valley which is called as the Gate of Páty also. The Paty-basin is 180 m over the see level in general, but its outskirts reach 210-360 m high. The hills and valleys of this territory paint a very nice environment.

This station has been having a population since the ancient times. A great number of remembrances from the stone age, copper age and bronze age can be found in different local collections and in the Hungarian National Museum.

Due to the lettering stones of Roman age, noble inhabitants of Aquincum liked and used the water of Főkút (Main source): They built up a spa around it and the local pieces of ground have been developed as a medium category farm.

The name of the village has been mentioned in a deed of gift issued in 1286 on the 5th Sunday after Fig Sunday for the first.

After the Mohács catastroph of (1526) Páty was also controlled by the Turkish Empire, but the local people stayed here (excluding some shorter-longer periods) differently from other villages in this part. The competence and industry of the local agriculture people had a very important role in the survivorship of the village. Merchants of far countries came here regularly for steely wheat and smooth wine. Onion, fresh cherry, cheese and cottage cheese were sold in the market of mainly.

The wine culture and production of the village has been lost by a great European-wide filoxera endemic. The winecellars of the old masters still have a fantastic feeling.

The nice environment, the fresh air and the lack of industry magnetize the people who search for some relaxing part. The hills are covered by weekendhouses. The village has good but not well-known touristic oppurtunities. Public transport, informatics and other elements of infrastructure can be and should be developed. The late baroque reformatic and the braid style Roman catholic church are the most important architectual values of Páty.
