Article History

Mohács, town and river port, Baranya megye (county), south central Hungary, on the Danube River, 23 mi (37 km) east-southeast of Pécs. Light industry includes the manufacture of hemp, silk, and wood fibres. Heavy industry, including foundries, was introduced in the 1950s. The town has a number of interesting churches: the 18th-century Baroque Protestant church, the Roman Catholic church (1776), the Serbian Greek Orthodox church, the votive church (1926), and the Avas church with its bell tower. The museum contains relics of the significant Battle of Mohács (1526). The town hosts the annual Busóĵárás carnival, held in the days before the Lenten season. The day before Ash Wednesday men wearing sheepskins and frightening masks parade through town and dance around bonfires to scare off winter and bring in spring. The population includes a significant German and south Slav minority. Pop. (2011) 17,808; (2017 est.) 17,278.
