History

In that place there was already a church probably with a village in the 12th century. The village has remained simple throughout history, some good changes have taken place due to the arrival of the railway line and construction of a sugar mill. In 1957 a well was drilled to find oil, but hot water appeared. In 1962 a bathhouse was built, after 3 years the water was declared medicinal water. A great development has taken place. Bük in 2007 received city status.
