Ilok Old Town & Odescalchi Castle
Dvor Odescalchi, Ilok
Croatia's easternmost medieval castle town, home to the Ilok Town Museum inside the castle, with walls offering views over the Danube and vineyards.
Ilok lies on the Danube about 37 km southeast of Vukovar, its old town ringed by medieval walls. Inside are the Odescalchi Castle, a Franciscan monastery and the Church of St John Capistrano, along with rare remains of an Ottoman-era Turkish bath and mausoleum. The castle now houses the Ilok Town Museum; admission is about €4. It is about 40 minutes by car from Vukovar, or roughly an hour by bus, making it a good half- or full-day trip that is often combined with a wine cellar tasting.
Opening hours
Museum Tue–Sun about 09:00–17:00
