Ferenc Tahy built a castle on the banks of the River Drava on a place protected by marsh and water.

Miklós Zrínyi urged the installation of a mercenary guard of the castle in his letters on November 17, 1555.

But after the Fall of Szigetvár its defenders left the fortress, moreover they set it on fire.

At that time Zsitfapuszta and Csütörtökhely were already part of Vízvár, however the second had still his own parish.

Later its owner was Ferenc Tahy in 1550, then Herkules Lajos Turinetti in 1726 and Kristóf Festetics in 1733.
