The history of the village
The chronicles mention the village with several names: Kisszentmiklós, Kerekszentmiklós on the basis of its rotunda church from the 11th century. Charters from the Árpád-house kings of Hungary mentions the village first from 1287 A. D., when Ladislaus IV of Hungary gives the village to Gergely de genere Osl, for his home defending merits. During the Mongolian invasion of 1241-1242 the village was destroyed. Lajos I of Hungary gives the village to the Kanizsay family. Then the Türkish invasion destroys the village in the 16th century. The Bishop of Győr refounds the village in 1701. The old rotunda church has been rebuilt in the first years of the 20th century.
