Bakonygyirót (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈbɒkoɲɟiroːt]) is a village in Győr-Moson-Sopron county, Hungary.[1] It lies on the county border, between the Sokorói hills and Bakony.[2] It was called Gyirót until 1909.[3] The first written mention of the settlement dates back to 1237, when it was referred to as Gyrolt.[3]

History

The area belonged to Czesznek Castle through the 18th century.[3] It was depopulated during the Turkish subjugation.[3] In the 18th century, its new owners, the Esterházy family, encouraged German settlers to move there.[3]

As of 2022, Bakonygyirót had a population of 170.[2]
