\"\"<\/a>Castles in Vojvodina were built from the XVIII to the XX century, by wealthy farmers and Austro-Hungarian nobility. They were built far from the cities, in baroque or classic style and they were surrounded by beautiful parks and garden, necessarily with a horse farm. After the II World War was colonization and castles in Vojvodina began to lose their glory. Since then they changed owners so many times. Four castles have the status of special cultural significance, 21 castles have great cultural and historical significance, three belong to the significant cultural property, more than 20 castles were written in cultural property books. The most famous castles in Vojvodina are the Ka\u0161tel Castle in E\u010dka, the castle of the Dundjerski family in \u010celarevo, Castle-hotel Fantast near Be\u010dej, the Stratimirovi\u0107 castle and Dundjerski castle in Kulpin.\"Novi<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Castle of the Dundjerski family in \u010celarevo consists of several buildings placed in a spacious park, organized by the principle of English gardens, at the property of the nobleman, founded in the second half of the 18th century. The smaller castle was built by Murphy Lipot at the end of the 18th and at the beginning of the 19 century and in this castle lived a nobleman Nikola Bezeredi with his family. Nikola Bezeredi decided to build a bigger castle, which is by the plans of unknown Viennese architect built between the 1834th and 1837th. Although this building was declared a castle, it used as a country house to Nikola Bezeredi, who owned houses in Vienna and Budapest too. Two castles in Kulpin, located in the park environment, were built in classic architectural style for the noble family Stratimirovi\u0107. The smaller castle was built in the late 18 century and bigger one has been built in middle of 19th century. For a short time, this property was bought by Matthew Semzo from Kamjonike, but in 1889. It was sold to the Lazar Dundjerski. In a bigger castle is placed today the Agricultural Museum, a smaller one was turned into a local office and offices of various associations.<\/p>\n

The castle is actually a red house, built in 1820. It is surrounded by a large park and the old water tower that looks like a little fortress.
