Szápár (historically: Szapár; Slovak: Capár,Cáfár)[1] is a village in Veszprém county, Hungary in Zirc District.
The Szapáry family's castle on Sánc-mount was destroyed during the Ottoman occupation, along with the village, which later only appeared as a mere settlement.
The area remained uninhabited until the 18th century and was briefly considered part of the Csesznek Castle's properties.
In 1752, the depopulated settlement was repopulated by the Szapáry family with Catholic Slovaks from Nitra and Trencsén counties, some of whom migrated from the nearby Áka.
In 1947, as part of the Czechoslovak-Hungarian population exchange, several Slovak families moved from Szápár to the settlement of Martos in the former Upper Hungary (Slovakia), while Hungarian families from the former Upper Hungary relocated to Szápár.
