Built in 1894 for the Hungarian noble Karácsonyi family, it is one of the few preserved Neo-Renaissance castles in Vojvodina. It stands out for its stately architecture and as a testament to the Austro-Hungarian era in Serbia.

Spring, especially May and June, and autumn, particularly September and October, offer pleasant temperatures and colorful scenery. Sundays are usually busier, while weekday mornings are quieter.

Only the outdoor areas and ground floor are partially accessible due to preserved historic steps. The first floor and towers do not have elevators. A companion is recommended for assistance during the visit.

About 30 minutes away is Subotica with its Art Nouveau city hall. Also noteworthy are the wineries along the Palić wine route and the Franciscan Monastery of Bačka Topola, 10 km away.

Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the cobbled paths, bring sun protection in summer, and carry cash, as there are no ATMs on site. Sunsets offer the best photos from the bridge in front of the lake.
