Adony is a town in Fejér county, it is located on right bank of Danube. It
was mentioned as Odon in late Middle Age, but during the ottoman rule its
poppulation was ousted from their home. After that German and Slovakian people
came and settled next to Serbian minority. But the dominancy remained in German
hands. Their first church was built in 1723. It became municipality in 1891, but
it has been town since 2004.
