Újudvar
Újudvar is a village in Zala County, Hungary. Location Újudvar is located a few kilometers north of the exit from the main road 74 at Nagykanizsa, along road 7527 in the valley of the Principalis-canal. Road 7528, which branches off from the latter road, leads to the main road 74 through Magyarszerdahely. It can also be reached by train on the Szombathely – Nagykanizsa railway line ; Újudvar railway station is almost 2 km from the settlement, not far from the Korpavár part of Nagykanizsa (on the same line the stop at Magyarszerdahely is a little closer, about 1.5 km). History The settlement was first mentioned in 1193 as Ojvduor in Béla III of Hungary's charter, when recording the estates of the Crusaders of Fehérvár. Presumably Euphrosyne of Kiev, Géza II of Hungary's wife donated it to the church of Cathedral Basilica of Székesfehérvár. In 1256 its name appeared as Nova Curia, and in 1377 the village was named Wyoduar. According to a charter dated 1236, Johannite knights arrived in the village, where a convent was soon established. In 1325 a palatine assembly was also held in the village, the church of which was later consecrated in honor of St.
