Kőszeg (German: Güns, Prekmurian: Küseg, Slovene: Koseg, Croatian: Kiseg) is a historical town in Vas county, in Hungary. Another beautiful town beside Sopron (the big rival in tourism) which often referred to as the "jewellery box of the country". Like Sopron it is also very close to the Austrian border.

Understand

The origins of this town go back to the third quarter of the 13th century. Founded by the Volfer family.

In 1327 got the Royal status.

In the third wave of the great wars against the Turks in the 16th century, Kőszeg became the major flashpoint of the campaign of 1532. Under the leadership of the town and fort captain, Miklós Jurisich, a small garrison repelled the multiple outnumbered Ottoman army.

In 1695 the garrison and surrounding areas of Kőszeg fell into the hands of the Esterházy dukes, where it remained until 1931.

Kőszeg had already lost its leading role in the garrison county of Vas by the mid 19th Century.
