In 1532, Turkish troops besieging Kőszeg together with the other villages in the area burned down Kőszegszerdahely. The inhabitants of the villages fled to the Castle of Kőszeg and, together with the citizens of Kőszeg, led by Captain Miklós Jurisich, stopped the Turks.
Here is a 120 years old Cedrus atlantica.
