The town was established by uniting four settlements. The heart of the town is Almádi, the spa which developed on the hillside full of vineyards at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries. Vörösberény had undoubtedly existed at around the period of the Hungarian Conquest of the Carpathian Basin. It was King Saint Stephen himself, who had donated this settlement to the Monastery of the Greek Orthodox nuns in Veszprém Valley. The donation diploma written in Greek listed 48 hearths and 6 fishermen in contemporary Szárberény and includes the earliest toponyms recorded in Hungarian. Káptalanfüred is a pleasant summer resort among the groves.
