The park’s contemporary form dates back to the second half of the 19th century and is connected with the name of Alexander Andrássy, a local nobleman. During his time, there were two principlesections of the park: a French-style garden and a landscape park in an English-style. At the beginning of the 19th century, a greenhouse with exotic plants was built in the gardens. Alexander Andrássy had sculptures of a lion and lioness placed at the park entrance as symbolic gatekeepers.
In 1947, the manor house was largely destroyed by fire, and was reconstructed in the 1960s. In the park, a school, houses, an open-air museum, a cultural centre and a monument were built. Despite these intrusive constructions, the peace park is still very interesting, and artefacts from almost every period of its history can still be found there to this day.
