Cák ( German Zackenbach , Croatian Caka ) is a Hungarian municipality in Vas county near the Austrian border, four kilometers southwest of Kőszeg ( Güns ) on the slopes of the Güns Mountains .
history
Tombs from Roman times have been found in Cák; The place was first mentioned in documents in 1279 as Villa Chak . The Turks destroyed the village in 1532, and Christian soldiers burned the place down in 1573 and 1606.
The inhabitants were engaged in fruit and wine growing, but the phylloxera invasion in the 19th century caused great damage. Viticulture was rebuilt, but most of the residents were already making a living from growing chestnuts and fruit. The old wine cellars are now a listed building . There is a former quarry north of the village .
Today the community has about 294 inhabitants.
