Construction began in 1701, credited to Franz Johann Grunsfeld, and the building was renovated and extended in 1719. In 1810 the castle and its vineyard were bought by a member of the Zichy family from Bratislava. It remained a noble residence until 1920. From 1920 to 1965 it housed a school training viticulture specialists, and afterwards the county Agricultural House. It was abandoned after 1989. Later it was saved with European funds from the Hungary-Romania cross-border cooperation programme 2007-2013, about half a million euro, and a renovated wing is described as an exhibition centre.
