In 1904, the castle was transformed into a hunting lodge by Ödön Zichy. At the end of World War I, the estate was bought by Gheorghe Mateescu, a boyar from Muntenia. After World War II, the castle was nationalized by the Communist regime; from 1950 to 2006, it served as a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients.[2]
