# Martonvásár

Martonvásár is a town in Fejér County. It is located 30 km (19 mi) from Budapest and 30 km (19 mi) from Székesfehérvár, 13 km (8.1 mi) to northeast from Lake Velence.
Neighboring town Ercsi (Croatian: Erčin) is also described here.

## Understand

Martonvásár was first mentioned in 1268 as a market place. In the 1770s the area became under the control of the Brunszvik family. They began large-scale construction, building a Roman Catholic church and a Baroque palace (rebuilt in 1870 in neo-Gothic style). It is a great pride of the town that Ludwig van Beethoven was a guest here in 1800.
Martonvásár was elevated to town status in 2005.
