Balatonkeresztúr
Balatonkeresztúr is a village in Somogy county, Hungary.
The settlement is part of the Balatonboglár wine region.[2]
Etymology
According to the local tradition, the village's name comes from the crossing of roads (Hungarian: kereszteződés, keresztezés). However, the more well-accepted theory states that, like many other villages in Somogy County, Balatonkeresztúr was named after the patron of its church, in this case, Szent Kereszt (English: Holy Cross).[3]
History
According to László Szita, the settlement was completely Hungarian in the 18th century.[4]
Culture
The Hungarian folk song Szép a huszár, ha felül a lovára was collected in 1923 in Balatonkeresztúr by Lajos Bárdos.
