Vonyarcvashegy (Vonyarcvashegy)

Once the centre of wine production in the western Balaton region it is today a favourite holiday resort where all the services one needs for a pleasant stay may be found: camping sites, pensions, resorts and restaurants.

The village is built on southern downy hills connecting Balaton with Keszthely mountains. Mountain-village of 1,870 inhabitants.

Village 'Vonyarc' of Árpád-age was destroyed at the time of the Turkish rule. Major part of inhabitants returned to the village in the 17th and 18th century settled down up on the wine-hills. Vonyarc and Vashegy were united in 1850. At that time the inhabitants dealt primarily with viniculture and fishing.

The cultivated local bathing life was based upon the activity of the Bathing Association founded in 1930. Since the sixties tourism has been the most important motive of the life of the village.

Vonyarcvashegy Baroque chapel of Vashegy (at eastern part of the village) was built at the beginning of this century. It was renovated outside and inside in 2002. St. Cross burial-chapel was built in classicist style in 1820. Dolomite block of St. Mihály hill emerges like an island westward from the village, on the shore of Balaton. Earlier there was a fortified donjon on top of the hill, and at the Turkish times an observation post was erected there. The votive church currently standing there was built upon the ruins of the observation post in 1739. Tradition says in the course of a winter fishing in 1729 the ice was cut in pieces by a split, 6 fishermen died from 46 while the others were swept out to the shore of Vonyarc on a drift of ice by the wind so they survived. Thereafter they made a vow to build a chapel on the hill.

Temporary exhibitions in the community centre in summer. Exhibitions of fine arts and arts and crafts in the parish hall (in the first half of July). Museum of Weapons in Rákóczi street, in the district of villas above the long-distance road; private collection consisting primarily of European weapons and uniforms from the 19th century.
