From <ss10.kem-hvk.hu>:
"According to the findings uncovered here it has been inhabited since the prehistoric age. Today about 8000 inhabitants live here - it is the "capital" of the Bakonyfoothill. It has been a town since 1986. The Rákóczi's Insurrection and the Napoleonic wars played an important role in its history. Its reputation is due to its horsebreed which is famous all over the world. The Battyány family developed here a model-farm. In 1830 they had started the breeding of the English thoroughbred and not much later they established here a military studfarm. Later on this studfarm became a state property. The names of Kincsem, Imperial, Kisbér and other race-horses are known all over the world. The buildings of the studfarm are declares historic monuments, the most interesting among them - because of its size - is the Royal Riding-hall. The neoclassic Battyány manor-house with its protected garden is today a historic building. The altar-pieces the pulpit the furnishings of its Baroqe catholic church - which is today a historic monument as well - are also worth seeing. In front of the Riding-hall the statue of Baron Weckheim, sculpted by János Fadrusz can be found. The historic monuments of Ászár (which belongs to Kisbér) the catholic church built in the style of the age of Louis XVI., a Baroque wine-cellar, a beer-house, and the native house of Mari Jászai (she was the greatest Hungarian tragic actress) built in 1863 - today it is a museum - are also worth visiting. The evangelic church of Hánta (this village is also connected to Kisbér ) built in early neoclassic style, is also a historic monument."
