The Bela estate was marked by the activities of five generations of the Ožegović family.

Stjepan Ožegović started buying parts of the property, which was continued by his son

Metel. In the time of Metel Ožegović, his son Ljudevit and grandson Ivan, when

Bela was at the peak of its development, the spacious estate consisted of the Pusta fortress

Bela, the older castle Bela I surrounded by a park, the younger castle Bela II with arranged

gardens, family tombs in the chapel of the Mother of God and cultivated agricultural,

vineyard and forestry areas. The family was restored by Ožegović

possession and made it a culturally and economically developed manor. Contributed

are the progress of the life of the local population by founding a public school and patronage

over the Parish of Margečan. The tragic suffering of Metel and Emilija Ožegović and

the parcelling of the White estate after World War II provoked his

gradual decay whose consequences are evident to this day.

Bela II is not exactly dated, but was probably built the same in the 17th century. The two castles are mentioned as early as 1648, so that Bela II was built probably before that time. It is a single-winged building with arcades on the front side and two round towers on the side accessed from the road. Within the two castles there is a chapel, which houses the tomb of Baron Ožegović.
