History
Drégelypalánk has a medieval fortress that was erected by the Hont-Pázmány dynasty in the 13th century. In 1552 the fortification were defended against the advancing Turkish Army.
Drégely is recorded as the site of a church dedicated to St. Elizabeth. During the Turkish Rule, South Slavic settlers came to the area while German immigrants arrived in the 18th century.
The centuries-old economic relations to the neighbouring countries were lost after World War I.
