The castle was remodeled and expanded in classicist for the Károlyi family by architect Miklós Ybl in 1872.

On the right bank of the Tarna River [hu], on top of a high hill, the former castle of the Károlyi family still stands today.

In 1889, Gyula Károlyi added a two-story, romantic wing to the classicist-style building, which turned it into a 44 room castle complete with a piped water system.

In 1914, future Prime Minister Count Mihály Károlyi and his wife, Katinka Andrássy, spent their honeymoon here.

From 1949 to 1988, after a restoration, the castle was operated as a children's resort of the National Council of Trade Unions.
