And in this castle, you can sleep in the luxurious rooms, relax and escape from busy everyday life. Sounds impressive, don't you think?

Castle's History and Influence of the Janković family

In the late 18th century, Julian Fekete of Galante bought the entire manorial property from Prince Casimir Esterhazy of Galante. Namely, Julijan was the mother of Ivan Nepomuk Janković, and the Janković family is a key element in creating the cultural heritage and history of Suhopolje. To make it a center of the estate, it was necessary to construct administrative and residential buildings. The current look of the castle is due to Elemir Janovic, who was the last to rebuild the castle. He also built a chapel on the property where his son Elemir, his wife Ilka, and himself were buried. After the death of Elemir, the castle was inherited by his son Andrija, and in 1931 he decided to sell it. From 1942 to 1945, Janković Castle belonged to the Croatian School and Educational Foundation. Until 1960, the castle was an orphanage, then an elementary school, a kindergarten, and a residential building.

Restoration of the Castle

In 2016, the Virovitica city museum, the Virovitica-Podravina County, and the municipality of Suhopolje began the restoration of the castle, which was co-financed by the European Union. With this renovation, this cultural and historically important castle and its beautiful architecture were saved.

The project itself was carried out in four phases, and by revitalizing and restoring the castle, the importance of the rich history of not only this area but also that of the Jankovic family has been restored.
