Budaörs: Budapest’s green and modern western gateway

Budaörs, a small town on the western border of Budapest, offers historical charm, modern infrastructure and an excellent quality of life. Although its size and atmosphere are those of a small town, Budaörs is a vibrant economic and cultural center that is becoming more and more popular with both families and investors every year.

History of Budaörs

The area of Budaörs has been inhabited since ancient times, and the name of the settlement was first mentioned in written form in 1236. Over the millennia, various peoples have left their mark here, but the city’s current image was shaped by German settlers in the 18th century. The Danubian Swabians, who were settled by Maria Theresa, shaped the city’s current image. After World War II, the deportation of the German minority also reached the city, and many German families had to leave their homes.

After the change of regime, Budaörs became the most developed agglomeration settlement. The proximity of the big city and the favorable location and infrastructure of Budaörs attracted industrial, commercial and service companies, and the good job opportunities attracted those wishing to move here.

Sights and landmarks in Budaörs

Budaörs offers visitors a number of natural and built attractions.

The Kő-hegy is the iconic location of the city with an unparalleled view. Ferenc Wendler saw the Virgin Mary, so he had a chapel built on the mountain in 1855. Unfortunately, this was duly carried away after the World War, so it was only rebuilt in 2003.
