XIX. In the 19th century it was the favorite holiday destination of the Count's family. The palace was built in Baroque style. From 1827 it belonged to Count István Károlyi. In 1869, a mansion was drawn to it. It was bought in 1913 by Baron Wefréd Manfréd Weiss, whose heirs set up modern large-scale farming and irrigated vegetable production.
