Sign in to saveAlso known as Pakozd
Pákozd is a village in Fejér county, Hungary. Set between Lake Velence and the granite dome of the Velence Hills, Pákozd covers of rolling loess and ancient crystalline outcrops just off the M7, 15 km north-west of Székesfehérvár. The village is nationally significant as the site of the Battle of Pákozd (29 September 1848), commemorated by the Katonai Emlékpark Pákozd (KEMPP), a National Memorial Site that attracts over 90,000 visitors annually with its military history exhibits and re-enactments.

Once primarily a lakeside farming community, Pákozd has transformed into a growing commuter and recreational settlement, with its population increasing from 2,245 in 1980 to 3,665 in 2022, driven by second-home development and its proximity to Budapest.
