The base of the Rákóczi Castle was put down in the 16th century. Vay Tihamér rebuilt the castle in 1870. The Rákóczi family commissioned the building surrounded by a wall made of stone which is proven by the two remaining watchtowers. It is a two storey building nowadays even though it had only one storey until the beginning of the 1800's with two corner towers. The molding also show this breakdown.

The surroundings of the castle were full of plant rarities. Nevertheless, during the war they were cut down and only a Ginko Biloba remained. Only a small fraction of the furniture remained intact in the castle, so was the case with the book collection of the Vay family. The life-size Rákóczi picture in the ballroom was probably made for the 1000th anniversary of the establishment of the country. The names of Halász Hradil Rezső from Miskolc and the restorer Radácsi Endre reads on the canvas. A permanent Rákóczi exhibition is open in the castle. The material downstairs shows the life of Rákóczi Zsigmond while that on the second floor introduces Rákóczi Ferenc II.
