Tikveš Castle
Dvorac Tikveš
A hunting lodge deep in the Kopački Rit marshes, once a holiday retreat for a Habsburg archduke and Tito, now the research and visitor center of the nature park.
Tikveš Castle was built in the late 19th century as a hunting lodge for Archduke Friedrich of the Habsburg family. After World War II it became a holiday retreat where Tito hosted foreign guests, surrounded by dense oak forests and marshland. Following restoration, the castle serves as the research and visitor center of the Kopački Rit Nature Park. Visitors can tour the exhibition halls and gardens, and forest trails run nearby. It lies about 10 km north of the Kopačevo Visitor Center. Opening hours are limited, so book in advance with the nature park.
