The House of Bánffy in Dolnja Lendava (present-day Lendava) were the first noble family in Prekmurje to adopt Protestantism. From 1573 until 1574 Count Miklós VI hosted the printing press of Rudolf Hoffhalter in his castle at Lendava. The first books in Prekmurje and the territory of present-day Slovenia were printed on this press. These were three books by the Protestant preacher, teacher and writer György Kultsár, who died in 1577. Written in Hungarian, they were: A Short Preparation for Death, The Battle of the Devil with the Repentant Sinner (1573) and Homilies (1574).
