context_page_description: The Apponyi family, also Apponyi de Nagy-Appony, was a prominent family group of the upper nobility of the Kingdom of Hungary, some of whose members remained notable after that kingdom's dismemberment in the successor states of Hungary and Czechoslovakia. While tracing its origins to the High Middle Ages, the family became prominent in the 18th century with its elevation to the rank of Counts of Nagy-Appony in 1739 and the acquisition of several large domains between 1760 and 1800. In the last century of the Habsburg Monarchy, three of its members received the Order of the Golden Fleece, a total only surpassed among the Hungarian nobility by the houses of Esterházy, Batthyány, Cziráki and Pálffy. In addition, Albert Apponyi received the Order in 1921 shortly after the end of the monarchy.
  The family's name refers to Appony, now Oponice, a village located North of Nitra in present-day Slovakia, in which the family established itself in the late 14th century. Nagy-Appony is the southern part of the village, which was long ruled by the Apponyi family.
  Many Apponyis were active in the military, politics, and/or the Catholic Church, as was customary in Hungarian aristocratic families.
context_section_description: The old castle at Ybrehart (today Malinovo) was acquired by Count György Apponyi, son of Lázár, in June 1763. It was reconstructed into its current form sometime after 1817 by Count György Apponyi (1780-1849), eldest son of Antal György. It then went to his son György Apponyi who died in the castle in 1899. Albert Apponyi lost property of the castle following the Treaty of Trianon. It became an agricultural school in 1923, a function it still serves despite an obvious need for repair.
