Čakany is now a small village, but in this region it has always been a significant settlement. Documented from 1254 as Chakan. The village was originally a serf village of the Cistercian abbey in Zirc. In the 13th century, the abbey settled in the Moravians, who later mingled with the original Hungarian and German population. The inhabitants were farmers, raising cattle and from the 18th century also sheep. Baroque Roman Catholic Church of St. Michal from the end of the 17th century, which was later modified in the Classicist style, belongs to the important sacral monuments of the Danube region. It attracts with its main altar with the image of a saint and murals from the second half of the 18th century, which were painted in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. In the village there is a preserved Baroque mansion from the end of the 17th century, modified in 1712 and rebuilt in 1824. It was built by Archbishop Juraj Szelepchényi. Next to the manor house, which currently houses a children's home, there was originally a smaller French park, which it declared a protected area.
Today, the village has lived to protect its rich folk customs, language and culture, and its future is in the hard hands of its inhabitants.
