It fell into disrepair since the 18th century and has been in ruins ever since.
Until 1919 the village in Gemer and Kleinhont County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary , after which it came to the newly formed Czechoslovakia . Due to the First Vienna Arbitral Award , it belonged again to Hungary from 1938 to 1945 and has been part of today's Slovakia since 1993.
