History

[edit]

The name of the village comes from the Hungarian word debrő (broad valley). It may be related to the Slavic dialect term debra (floodplain). The builder of the Romanesque-style church and sub-church built in the 11th century may have been a royal figure, perhaps King Samuel himself, who built the church before his reign and was buried here after his death. The Saint Martin church combines features of Eastern and Western Christianity. The original church in the form of a Greek cross and later transformed into a three-nave church, but the original crypt was preserved. The name of the settlement was mentioned for the first time in 1219 as monastery Debrev, but it could have existed much earlier. The church was presumably built by the owner as a family monastery church. The village is also famous for its winemaking, it's located in the Eger wine region, and its wine, Debrői Hárslevelű, smells and tastes characteristically reminiscent of linden flowers.[1][2][3][4]
