Mány (German: Maan) is a town in Hungary, located in the north-east of Fejér County in the Zsámbéki Basin.

History

In the Middle Ages Mány was in Esztergom county. Mány and Örs were completely destroyed in the first decades of the Turkish occupation. From 1611 there was a Batthyány estate, but in 1680 Batthyány family pledged their estates in Mány and Bicske. In 1703 Mány was moved to Fejér County.
