Dvorac Eugena Savojskog
A hunting estate built in 1707 by Eugene of Savoy, who defeated the Ottoman army, with corner towers around a courtyard; a quick stop on the road to Kopački Rit.
Bilje Castle was built around 1707 by Prince Eugene of Savoy, who defeated the Ottoman army. It is one of the oldest manor houses in Baranja. Its square main building has a tower at each corner and encloses an inner courtyard. For a long time it served as the administrative office of the Kopački Rit Nature Park. Today it is mainly admired from the outside, and it occasionally hosts exhibitions. Located beside the road between Osijek and Kopačevo, it is a short stop, ideal for a quick look on the way.
