Valko County
.
[6]
During the
Middle Ages
it was a typical
swampland
castle
.
[6]
Prior to the
Ottoman
conquest of the region the land around the village belonged to the
Benedictine monks
with contemporary village of
Laslovo
and historical settlements of Eginci and ?akanovci belonging to the Ostrovo property.

Ostrovo was abandoned following the Ottoman conquests with Eastern Orthodox people from the
Balkans
interior resettling it on 16th century and again in 17th century.
