The castle was built to protect against internal disturbances and sudden attacks by marauding knights or ordinary bandits.

On the next day, the Ottomans bombarded the castle's tower, which protected the gate, killing János Zoltay and burying him.

Ali then dispatched two young servants to Szondy, asking him to raise them as knights and that in case he died, they would bury him honorably.
