A település Budapesttől nyugati irányban kb. 45 km-re, egy képzeletbeli észak-dél vonalon Esztergom és Tatabánya között, a Gerecse keleti szélén található.
The settlement is located 45 km west of Budapesttől, along the eastern edge of the Gerecse mountain chain (on an imaginary north-to-south line it would fall between the cities of Esztergom and Tatabánya).

The town of 2000 has a written history dating back to the 11th century and as long ago as 1087 it was a noted Christian settlement. Its church was built in 1484 in Gothic style with a single nave. In 1880, thanks to Janos Simor of the Esztergom diocese, it was expanded by a cross nave and two side naves. Items of note in the structure are the hand carved Gothic sacramental cabinet inserted into the wall and the gate. The school was also commissioned by Janos Simor for his beloved parishioners.

The nearby Csima Calvary marks the place of a town that was destroyed during the Turkish occupation. It is what remains of the old church - the stations of the cross with an ancient red marble cross.

A II. világháború után
Az államosítást követően szükséglakásként, téesz-raktárként használták. A belső terek tönkrementek, a mobíliák megsemmisültek. A parkot országúttal vágták ketté, gépállomást telepítettek bele, egy részét pártház céljára választották le. A téesz a kastélyból az 1970-es évek elején kiköltözött, de a gépállomást tovább használta.

Below is the Roman Catholic church in the center of town. It is the church my parents were married in on June 6, 1948. It is also the location where both my brother and I received our first communion.
