In the 18th century, the locality of Satulung belongs to the family of Count Teleki. The first castle was built in 1711, by Teleki Mihály, the signator of peace at Satu Mare. His great-grandson, Imre, in 1782 was the owner of a ruined castle. Today's dimensions were achieved in 1891, during the time of  Teleki László Gyula. At the beginning of the 20th century, he was the main landowner of the region. Satulung was the center of his estate and here is the place where he was buried, in 1936. Many people walked in this castle, including Auguste de Gerando, Teleki Emma's husband, who wrote to his French readers about his wife's homeland.
