(Magyar Győr), a town of Hungary, capital of a county of the same name, in the midst of a wide marshy plain at the confluence of the Raab, with the Little or Wieselburg Danube, 34 miles S.E. of Pressburg, and 67 W.N.W. of Buda. Besides the town properly so called, which is defended by a castle, and surrounded by fortifications and a glacis, there are extensive suburbs. It is well built, chiefly of stone, and some of the streets are straight and regular. Among the chief buildings are the old and splendid cathedral; several other Roman Catholic, a Protestant, and a Greek church; Benedictine and Ursuline convents. The educational establishments include an archigymnasium, a royal academy with legal and philosophical faculties and a library, an Episcopal seminary, and other schools. There are also an orphan hospital, theatre, barracks, and arsenal. Large horse markets are held here; and there is a considerable trade in corn. The only manufacture of any importance is that of tobacco, which is carried on by the government. Raab is connected by railway with Vienna and with Buda; and steamers ply between it and Gönyö, on the Danube. A battle was fought under the walls in 1809, in which Napoleon totally defeated the disorderly force of the Hungarian nobles. Pop. (exclusive of the military) 16,000.
