According to tradition, the name of the village originates from the period when Hungarians settled the Carpathian Basin. The founding valiant's name was Ozd. The village, which is so isolated today, was once the centre of the episcopate. Little by little, Luduş, the town in the valley of the Mureş river grew, while Ozd lost its significance.

The castle was built in the 17th century. We do not know the exact date of its construction, nor the name of the original proprietor. It was probably István Radák, but it could also have been Lőrincz Pekri, one of the leaders of the war of independence against the Habsburg Empire.

The most beautiful part of the story is linked to Kata-Szidónia Petrőczi, the wife of Pekri, who lived alone in the castle for a long time while her husband was busy with politics and war. In her loneliness, she translated puritan literature and later started to write poetry about God, her prayers and the surrounding lands. She is considered by many to be the first Hungarian poetess. She often prayed that the castle would become a blessing and an instrument of God in His work.

Later the castle became the property of the Teleki family. The last owner to live in the castle was the Countess Ilona Teleki who had to leave the country in 1944 when the Romanian and Soviet army marched in, and the battlefront was 1-2 km far. The castle became the property of the state and was used by the village as long as was possible without maintenance. In the mid-sixties it was abandoned and each year its condition deteriorated. Finally, in 1997 BPF leased the property from the Romanian state for 99 years. Between 1998 and 2001 we succeeded in halting the process of deterioration by replacing the roof.

The current heir to the property Baroness Maria Konredscheim is the daughter of Ilona Teleki. She currently lives in France. According to new Romanian real estate law it was possible for her to reclaim the property. Baroness Konredscheim submitted the claim and she received the title to the property. She then donated the property to Bonus Pastor Foundation.

Maybe now, after three hundred years, Kata-Szidónia Petrőczi's prayers are being answered as the property becomes an instrument of spiritual healing.
