Ferenc Mágochy II was the chief Lord of Torna and Bereg counties, and also held the position of Captain-General of Upper Hungary.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the area belonged to Zsigmond Móricz, from whom Prince Gábor Bethlen confiscated his estates in 1621 for disloyalty.

In 1640, the son-in-law of Máron Móricz, Miklós Keglević, the captain of Ónod Castle, who had died in the meantime, received back Mágocspuszta, which he then leased to the people of Vásárhely.

However, the New Acquisitions Committee did not confirm the ownership rights of the Keglevich Counts, and King Leopold I donated Mágocspuszta to Schlick in 1702 as part of the Csongrád and Vásárhely manors.

The daughter of the excellent estate governor was Júlia Szendrey, who was the wife of the famous poet Sándor Petőfi.

In 1883, Count Alajos had a new, neo-Romanesque Roman Catholic church built in honor of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga in Nagymágocs.

The original plans and documentation of the building are missing, but according to the Austrian Architekten Lexikon,[1] it was designed by the Viennese architect Viktor Siedek, who worked for numerous famous clients in nearby Csorvás, Póstelek, Kistapolcsány, Budapest and throughout the former Greater Hungary where he designed palaces, churches and villas alike.

[2] After the castle was built, the interior design work was delayed, the wooden upper part of the fireplace in the library room, made by the Budapest cabinetmaker László Damjanovics, was completed in April 1902, and the wall fountains and taps of the residence were made by Károly Knuth.

In 1910, the Count family had the first floor of the castle converted into a chapel, in a unique way in Hungarian practice, because their firstborn son, Tibor Károlyi, who died at the age of 8, was buried there, and they wanted to preserve his memory in this way.

The "Little Boy with Fish" fountain was placed in the courtyard, and the "Four Seasons" sculpture group is also located in this part of the park, dated 1771.

After the death of the landowner, his third son, Viktor Károlyi, took over the management of the Mágocs estate for a short time.

At the end of World War II, the Count's family fled, most of the furnishings of the abandoned castle were taken away, and the rare books were burned in the fireplace.

In 1945, the state confiscated the remaining furniture, paintings, and other artifacts, and thento Szentes, to Sárospatak, and then transported to Eger.

[3] After the nationalization, the castle was first used as a holiday resort for the Csepel Iron and Steel Works, then as a lodging for Greek freedom fighters.
