About
The Bilje castle (Croatian: Dvorac Eugena Savojskog or Hungarian: Bellye Kastély or German: Schloss Belje) is a baroque-style palace in Bilje, in the Baranja region, in north-eastern Croatia. The castle was commissioned by Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663–1736). The design of the quadrangular castle can probably be attributed to Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt (1668–1745). Afterwards, it became property of the Teschen branch of the Habsburg family. After the First World War, it was expropriated and became a state-owned agricultural estate, which it is till today.
