Várbalog, Hungary (old Moson Megye; German: Jessyhof; not in Burgenland)
Northwest of Mosonszentpéterjanos, on the way to Halbturn.

The village was first mentioned in documents as Váras-Balog. Pecheneg and Hungarian inhabitants of the village were killed by Tatar troops. The village was acquired by king Andras III in 1297. It became depopulated during the Turkish wars, and was later resettled by Germans.

It became a farmstead owned by the Habsburg archdukes. Hungarian people were resettled in the village in the 1930s.

There is a nice neo-Gothic church in Albertkazmerpuszta [German name: Albrecht-Kasimir-Hof; on the way to Halbturn] which belongs to the village.
