The village's first known lord was János Lökös, who was stripped of his land and cattle in the 14th century.

The forfeited properties were passed into the hands of the Kun originated Ost family, whose descendants were the later Osttfys.

The validity of the latter interpretation was reinforced by a 1758 source, which mentions the existence of a miracle-making icon of the Virgin brought here from Sopron County in 1620.

The village had an old castle, which was built around 1250 in the marshy land at the confluence of the River Rába and the stream Lánka.

The castle was pulled down by the Garai family on the grounds that Ferenc Ostffy had revolted against King Zsigmond.
