Ilok Castle, Medieval castle in Ilok, Croatia
The stone castle stands on a hill at 125 meters elevation, offering views across the Danube River and the Pannonian Plain from its three-story structure.
Nicholas of Ilok, the Croatian viceroy and king of Bosnia, initiated the construction of this fortification during the fifteenth century as a strategic stronghold.
The Museum of the Town of Ilok occupies the lower floors, displaying archaeological artifacts, medieval collections, and ethnographic exhibitions that document regional heritage.
The castle complex includes wine cellars where visitors can taste local wines, combining historical exploration with regional wine production traditions.
Emperor Leopold I granted the castle to the Odescalchi family, relatives of Pope Innocent XI, as recognition for their help in liberating Ilok from Ottoman control.
