Pejačević Castle

Pejačević Castle is located in the center of Virovitica. It is one of a series of Slavonian castles of the famous Pejačević noble family, who received the noble title "Pejačevići Virovički" precisely because of this estate.

The castle was built between 1800 and 1804 according to the plans of the Viennese architect N. Roth. Anton I.dies during the construction, in 1802, and the inhabitants of the time said that he who undertook such a great job must die before the completion of construction. The castle was built for his son, Anthony II . Pejačević, and in the middle of the 19th century, Antun III. Pejačević sold it to the German princely family of Schaumburg-Lippe, who owned it until 1911, when it was bought by Count Ivan Drašković, who sold it together with the park to the city of Virovitica in 1930, and since then it has been in the service of the city. The Pejačević and Schaumburg-Lippe families left a special mark in the history of the manor and castle in Virovitica. The original purpose of the castle as the seat of the lords ended after the departure of the Schaumburg-Lippe princes, although Count Drašković used the castle for some time, the life of the lord family never took place in it again.
