==History== The first written mention of the settlement dates from 1275, but it was actually inhabited even earlier, as indicated by the names of the Huns' graves in the Áldozó valley. The church was built near the confluence of two streams in the village, and is decorated with 13th-century frescos. The Mátra mountains are clearly visible from the settlement, which is why a lookout tower was built in the settlement. Cheese and honey are made in the Bodony, and the memories of the pottery industry are kept by the Museum of the Past and Present.
