History
The name of Túrricse (Ricse) was first mentioned in a charter as Riche in 1271, when King Stephen the Vth donated it to the ancestor of the Csáholyi family. It remained in the ownership of the family until 1611, when Péter Melith inherited the part of Csaholyi estate.
In the 18th century, Ricse was acquired by the Barkóczy family.
Szilárd Borbély's "Nincstelenek" is set in Túrricse.
