Summary/Abstract: At the turn of the 14th and 15th century, documents mention desolate castle Litava. The castle belonged to nobles from Kaza (present-day Sajókaza), afterwards occupied by Czech soldiers. In 1461, king Matthias Corvinus conquered the castle Litava, already called Čab¬raď. He gave the castle to Damian Horvát as a donation and Damian has renovated and extended castle dominion. Around 1503, the Horvát family sold the castle with dominion to Thomas Bakócz. He has been extending the dominion as well, then he gave it to his relatives – the Erdődy family. At the end of the Middle Ages, a part of the Čabraď dominion was the castle of the same name, farm around the castle, wasteland or solitary farm Čabraď (present-day farm Konské), village Čabradský Vrbovok, shares in village Medovarce, village Devičie, Teplica (present-day farm Tepličky near Hontianske Nemce), Krnišov, Žibritov, shares in vil¬lage Štefultov, villages Ilija, Svätý Anton, Prenčov (both villages with extincted farms Pakhaus, Dorfel and Štálov), Beluj and Lehôtka (present-day Sitnianska Lehôtka). In the south-eastern part of Hont County are there Opava, Čelovce, shares in village Ďurkovce, farm Neklinec, village Horné Nekyje (at present-day, both are part of village Vinica) and shares in village Sečianky. Other property lied in the middle part of the Hont County. These were shares in villages Rykynčice, Plášťovce and Slatina. In the west of Hont, share in village Devičany and southward located villages Veľký Pesek, Trhyňa (at present-day, both are part of village Sikenica) and Šalov belonged there. According to territorial distribution, they created several property units. The most stable of them lied in the north of the Hont County, near the village Svätý Anton. Other units bought southward in the basin Ipeľ and Hron had the form of property shares. Later, they have come under proprietary changes in various extent.
