Eltz Castle – Vukovar City Museum
Dvorac Eltz
A Baroque count's palace on the Danube, rebuilt after the war as the Vukovar City Museum, presenting the city's history from prehistoric times to 1991.
Eltz Castle is an 18th-century Baroque palace of the Eltz counts, located where the Vuka River meets the Danube. It was nearly destroyed during the 1991 war, and after rebuilding in 2011 it became the Vukovar City Museum, displaying Vučedol pottery, the counts' family collection, folk culture and the city's wartime memories. Admission is about €5; closed on Mondays. From the castle, a few minutes' walk along the Danube promenade takes you to the Baroque Old Town.
