In the middle of the 16th century, the monks fled the territory, because of the Ottomans. The treasures of the monastery and the church were fled to Gyöngyös. Bricklayers settled around the monastery in the 18th century, they were the first inhabitants of the village. King Joseph II disbanded the order in 1782 and the area was treated by the state.
