The settlement was probably founded in the time of King Saint László of Hungary. In the second half of the 13th century, it was the manorial centre of the Tomaj and Kacsik families, and Dénes of the Tomaj clan began to settle the Saxon craftsmen on the land donated to them by the king. Its Gothic church, built in the early 14th century, became the seat of a deanery. Magyarrégen was first mentioned as a separate settlement in the middle of the century. In the 16th century, the church became Lutheran and was fortified. In 1661 the Transylvanian Diet elected Kemény János prince in the town. In the 18th century, it was mentioned as an excellent winegrowing and wine-producing region, but the town's handicraft industry was also important. Its timber merchants were of great importance. The Transylvanian timber was transported on rafts down the Maros River to Arad, which took three weeks. Szászrégen was declared a free royal town quite late, in 1863. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was inhabited by an equal number of Saxons and Hungarians, with a smaller number of Vlachs. After the Romanian invasion, the Romanians began to settle in large numbers. The Saxon population emigrated to Germany in exchange for ransom during the Ceaușescu era. The main attractions of the town are its churches. It is also worth mentioning the Romanesque church of Abafája, which was annexed to the town in 1956.

The manor was remodelled in the last decades of the 19th century by Baron Husz\u00e1r (III.) K\u00e1roly, when the romantic details were created. Next to the manor there is a very much rebuilt Baroque outbuilding with two storeys and a vaulted horse stable, both probably built by Husz\u00e1r Bo\u00e9r J\u00f3zsef in the 18th century.@\nMikes Kelemen of Z\u00e1gon spent part of his childhood in the manor, since his mother, Torma \u00c9va, was the owner of the manor, as a descendant of the Husz\u00e1r family of Brenhida. It was the birthplace of the Hungarian army colonel Bethlen Gergely. The manor's guests were Archduke Charles Habsburg, the last Hungarian king, in 1901, and Baron Apor Vilmos Apos, the martyred bishop of Gy\u0151r, who was later beatified, after his first mass in 1905. The writer Wass Albert and Kem\u00e9ny J\u00e1nos were also frequent visitors, and Dsida Jen\u0151 was a tutor there for seven months in 1928-29. In 1912, Baron Husz\u00e1r J\u00f3zsef, a participant in the activities in Romania relating to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, was born in the manor and was executed in Arad prison on 1 September 1958.@\nThe 30-acre park around the manor included three ponds with islands, swans, grottos, exotic plants, fountains and statues.\n&\nszaszregen.hu: Nevezetess\u00e9gek,
