History
Ócsa has been inhabited continuously since the Árpádian era . His name was first mentioned in 1235 as a diploma called Alza . The monastery of the Premontre monastic order, built in honor of the Virgin Mary , was established as a branch of the provostship of Váradelőhegy , which already stood in 1235 . The basilica on the site of the monastery is one of the most important monuments of Romanesque Hungarian architecture .To the left is the country house, to the right is the monastery of Premontre
On September 29, 1307 , King Charles Robert also issued a diploma here.
Its population converted to the Reformed faith around 1600 and they took possession of the church in Premontre . The Reformed received permission from Queen Maria Theresa to restore the church, but many medieval details of the former Premontrei church were destroyed during construction. The traditional Reformed peasantry lived in Alszeg and for a long time were much more modest than the Catholics who later settled around the Catholic church built in the 18th century . The number of Catholics later increased rapidly with the allocation of plots in the barn, the establishment of the landlord’s majors, and the population of the Babád and Alsópakony steppes . After being a Lutheranand Baptist congregations also settled, by the middle of the 20th century the proportion of Catholics and Protestants had leveled off again.
Around 1856 , Ócsa became the district seat.
