Overview

Gönc is a town in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county in Northern Hungary, and it is the northern-most town of Hungary. Gönc has been inhabited since the Conquest of Hungary, and it was royal estate and an important market town in the Middle Ages. Between 1570 and 1647, it was the seat of the county of Abaúj county.Although the lands in this region were owned by Magyar landlords, Gönc itself was a crown possession. In the 1200s the court invited German craftsmen to settle at Gönc. After the Treaty of Trianon Hungary lost its northern parts and Gönc became close to the new border, losing its importance in trade. The settlement became town in 2001.
