Kápolnásnyék is a village in Fejér county, Hungary.
Excavations in the surroundings revealed Bronze-Age artefacts, proving that the area was already populated in ancient times.
The present appearance of the village was formed in the 1930s, when it became a commercial and service background for the booming tourism of Lake Velencei. The phone system, gendarme patrol, local medical care, railway station and the mill were established in this period.
The settlement suffered serious injuries in World War II, when the majority of the population also died.
The village was also behind in development, compared to other settlements of the region and became a part of Velence by the 1970s.
Kápolnásnyék declared its independence in 1990 and has gone though considerable development since then. It once again became the background for the tourism of Lake Velencei, where commercial service facilities are established and the infrastructure is developing rapidly.
