Count Karol Eszterházi had one of the most beautiful and interesting hunting manors built in 1883 in a large park.
Over time, the manor house did not meet the needs of the owners and so another part was built, which was connected to the original hunting manor by a connecting corridor, which connected the old and new part of the manor served not only as a connecting tract but also as a winter garden, which imitated a typical garden in Cairo. .
The park around the manor was created by transforming the floodplain forest into an English park with a rosary, swimming pool and pond.
Until recently, there was a specialized medical institute for children suffering from obesity in the manor house, which burned down around 1993 and since then the building has not been used. At present, the manor house and the park area are unused and devastated. There are noticeable traces of persistent vandalism and damage in the building and the park.
In the northeastern part of the park are the remains of the original pool measuring about 15 x 8 m rectangular in shape with rounded corners, which was used by the nobility during the summer days for watering. The pool was built on brick foundations with concreted walls and bottom. In the middle of the northwest wall of the pool is a small "cave", which was used for sitting and relaxing. The pool was entered by means of a 6-step masonry staircase, which is still there. The water system of the pool was interestingly solved. Water was brought into the pool through canals from Dudváh. On one side of the pool and at the other end, the water from the pool was drained back to Dudváh via canals.
According to legend, three popular count dogs, buried by poachers, are buried in the park. The count was very saddened by the dogs and, in their memory, planted three chestnut trees at that place.
