Kungota is first mentioned in 1328. The name of the feudal estate Ravno Polje - Ebensfeld appears in 1586, though there is testimony as the Vurberk affiliate of the estate already in 1265. The new fortress building of 1670 was constructed by Count Galler. The article indicates estate owners from the Ptuj lords, the Stubenbergs, Gallers, Sauers, Herbersteins and finally the Muzek family. Šentjanž also pertained to the Ravno Polje estate until 1917. The Ravno Polje district was composed of, as of 1754 census, 3737 serf houses in 28 settlements north and south of the Drava river. Their major litigation as to fishing rights in the Drava brought about the murder of count Jurij Günther Herberstein.
