From the atlas:
"The small settlement with a population of 500 was settled
on a height near the Széplaki Brook. It is the birthplace of
Cardinal József Mindszenty, Primate of Hungary. In 1992 the
villagers had a bust erected in his memory at Main Square, and a
memorial room was also established in his native house. The name
of the village first appeared in a document from 1342, when the
village's name giving church built on a mound had already been
standing for some time. Outside the village in the so-called Poty
field stands Mesterházy Mansion originally built in Baroque
style, but later remodelled in eclectic style in 1878."
Mindszent means in English All Saints
