The castle, built in the 13th century by the Barczay family, probably stood on the site of the current manor house. Later, an original Baroque mansion was built here, built at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. The manor got its current form in 1840, when it was rebuilt in the Classicist style. It was then that they discovered the foundation stone in the background of the building, where the date 1454 was engraved, which was a confirmation of the theory of the presence of an older building on the site of the current building.
Modifications and additions continued in the second half of the 19th century, when a historic pseudo-Renaissance tower topped with a battlement was added to the manor house.
This manor house was used by the Barczay family practically until 1945. They did not stay here permanently, but they used this manor house mainly as a summer residence.
From 1955, it housed the Youth Home of the Secondary School of Agriculture and Technology. The manor later changed owners who planned to build a hotel here. Since In 2013, the manor is owned by another company, which reconstructs it. In 2018, reconstruction work was still underway here.
