Somogyapáti

Somogyapáti (Croatian: Opat) is a village in the subregion of Szigetvár, Baranya county, Hungary.

The current name is a composition of Somogy which marks its former county, and apáti which means "the property of (the) abbey".

It is surrounded by Somogyviszló and Vásárosbéc on the north, Csertő on the east, Basal on the northeast, Patapoklosi on the south, Merenye on the southwest and Somogyhatvan on the west.

In the 1960s a dam have been built to impound this creek for irrigation purposes, creating a 105-hectare (259-acre) artificial lake of which area partly belongs to Somogyviszló.

Artifacts, such as refined stone tools and fragments of ceramics have been found marking that elements of Linear Pottery and Lengyel cultures were present in the region.
