Söjtör

Söjtör is a village in Zala County, Hungary. It is known primarily as the birthplace of Ferenc Deák, a prominent Hungarian statesman and Minister of Justice who played a crucial role in the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. The Deák family's ancestral home, a manor house in Söjtör, is preserved as a museum dedicated to his life and work. The village itself is relatively small and primarily agricultural. The Deák family's influence and the preservation of his birthplace make Söjtör a site of historical significance within Hungary.
