Rátót was originally a farm belonging to Gasztony and was first mentioned in 1428 as Rathodfolua. In 1865, József Széll purchased an estate here.
His son, Kálmán, expanded the property into a prestigious castle and ran a model livestock farm ("Simmental breed").
The castle survived the Second World War almost unscathed. In the following years, the castle's extensive library was almost completely lost. For a time, the castle served as a cultural center, then a school. In 2003, it was converted into a hotel and has had four stars since 2011.
