Situated 8 kilometres North-northeast of Pápa, Vaszar is an ancient settlement. Archaeological studies between their borders in the 1930s and 1960s show that the area has been inhabited since ancient times. Artefacts from the Bronze Age, the early Iron Age, the Avar period and the Hungarian conquest show that the area was liked and well suitable for establishing living conditions. Forest and swampy lakes surrounded the ridgeline, on which the village was built.
