Dunaszekcső (Serbo-Croatian: Sečuv, Sečuj, Sečuh) is a village in Baranya County, Hungary, situated on the right bank (west side) of the River Danube. The inhabitants are ethnic Hungarian, with minorities of Serbs and Danube Swabians.

History

In June 1700, Serbian Patriarch (in exile) Arsenije III held a church assembly in the town, which was known in Serbian as Sečuj.[2] Sečuj was one of centres of Serbian church-political life.[2] At the assembly, Danilo Šćepčević was officially chosen as the metropolitan of Montenegro (Cetinje).[2]
