Mentioned first as "Dod" in 1230. For a long time in the history the village belonged to the fortress of Gesztes: it was ransacked several times by the Turkish troops. As a possession of the Esterházy family it was famous for its excellent wine and its weavers. The number of its inhabitants is a bit more than 1000. Its historical building the Baroque beer-house - like several other buildings of the country - was designed by Jakab Fellner in 1747. The furnishings of its Baroque catholic church - built some years later than the beer-house - are worth mentioning.

Az elõször 1230-ban Dodként említett település a történelemben sokáig Gesztes várához tartozott; többször földúlták a törökök. Esterházy-birtokként ismert volt jó boráról, takácsairól. Lakóinak száma ma valamivel 1000 fölött van. Mûemlék jellegû, barokk stílusú sörházát - mint a megye számos hasonló korú épületét - Fellner Jakab - tervezte 1747-ben. Barokk katolikus temploma valamivel késõbbrõl való, berendezési tárgyai említésre méltóak.
