Papd (Bobda) is an Árpád-era settlement. Its name was mentioned in documents as early as 1221 under the name Popi. Ignác Piedlhauser (later renamed Csávossy) settled in Csávos in the 19th century, and later bought a manor in nearby Papd. His son, Gyula Csávossy, began building here in the 1860s: he designed a forty-two-room mansion and a large-scale family tomb opposite it.
The mausoleum was built as a scaled-down copy of the Esztergom basilica. It was consecrated in 1908.
In 1946, the crypt was broken into 'in search of bourgeois gold and precious stones'. most of the Catholic community fled or were deported sixty inhabitants were deported to the Bărăgan forced labour camps between 1951 and 1956. The last Mass was celebrated around 1983.In the early 2000s, the crypt was vandalised and the bones of the Csávossyak were scattered
