History

The manor house was originally built by the Zathureczky family. The Farkas family became the owners of Tamásfalva (now part of Rimaszombat) in the 17th century. Originally built in late Baroque style and later rebuilt in Classicist style, the manor now has an eclectic appearance. The manor was rebuilt and the tower was added by Farkas Ábrahám, a member of the Hungarian Parliament. He and his family are buried in nearby Dúlháza.

The former English garden was transformed into the premises of the agricultural cooperative. A circular mausoleum 13 metres in diameter with a collapsed brick dome stands at the end of the English garden. The bricks bear the mark of the town of Rimaszombat. The building is marked as a tomb ('Sírbolt') on the 1941 military survey of Hungary.
