Berhida is a small town located in the eastern part of Veszprém County, at the confluence of the Séd and Sényő creeks. The settlement's history dates back to Roman times, as evidenced by archaeological finds in the surrounding area. Its most significant landmark is the 13th-century Roman Catholic Church of Saint Ladislaus, renowned for its unique stone-tiled roof and well-preserved medieval architecture. In 1985, the town was the epicenter of a major earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale, which caused extensive damage to historical structures and prompted significant reconstruction. During the 20th century, the town's economic importance grew due to the chemical industry established in neighboring Peremarton. Today, Berhida acts as a vital local hub between the cities of Veszprém and Székesfehérvár, maintaining its traditional character and historical heritage.
