Horvát-Löö, Vas County, Hungary (not in Burgenland).

The name of this Croatian settlement along the Pinka brook was first recorded in a document in 1427. The name [-lövö = Schützen] refers to the original population of Hungarian frontier guards in the Middle Ages.

The titular saint of the medieval church is St. Anne. The church furnishings are late Baroque. There are several 19th century barns - relics of folk architecture - in the village. Population is 205. [German name was Kroatisch-Schützen.]
