History
Ban Márton of the Hont-Pázmány clan built a monastery for the Norbertine order of canons around 1237, and he left his properties on the monastery. The monastery was devastated by Mongols between 1241 and 1242 and was looted by the Czech mercenaries of Lévai Cseh László in 1446. In 1451 the Czech Hussite marauders of Jiskra occupied it, and they were driven out by Hunyadi János. In the 16th century the monastery was fortified and turned into a castle against the Turks. In 1550 the castle repelled a Turkish attack under the command of Jakusich Ferenc. But in 1552 its defenders set it on fire and left after having heard of the fall of Drégely Castle. It was in the hands of the Turks between 1552 and 1595 and again between 1626 and 1686. After having been liberated from the Turks, Emperor Leopold I gave it to the Jesuits, who built farm buildings and a granary on the ruins of the former monastery. Only the portal of the church and the Gothic arches of the cloisters are left of the former monastery.
