Vasalja, Hungary (Vasalla, old Vas Megye; not in Burgenland)

The village situated along the Pinka stream was first recorded in a document from year 1418. Its church originates from the age of the Árpád dynasty and is dedicated to King St. Stephen.

The former village, part Pinkaszentkirály, owes its name to this patron saint of the village (Szentkirály = Holy King). The old peasant house at Kossuth Street no. 50 is a valuable protected relic of folk architecture.

The population today numbers 338.
