Eltz Manor

Eltz Manor ( _hr. Dvorac Eltz) is a castle in Vukovar, Croatia. It was originally built between the period of 1749 to 1751 by the House of Eltz and was gradually extended over time.

The manor suffered a great deal of damage during Croatian War of Independence. It is now owned by the Vukovar City Museum. The manor, as it previously appeared, is on the backside of the Croatian 20 kuna currency.
