Eltz Manor (Croatian: Dvorac Eltz, German: Schloss Eltz) is a castle in Vukovar, Croatia. The 18th century manor is the location of the Vukovar City Museum.
The manor was originally built between the period of 1749 to 1751 by the House of Eltz and was gradually extended over time. Eltz is a prominent Catholic German noble family with ties to Croatia since it acquired the Lordship of Vukovar in 1736.
The manor was confiscated by the communists, and the Eltz family had left the country by the late 1920s. In the 1990s, Jakob Eltz returned to the country. The manor, however, suffered a great deal of damage during the Croatian War of Independence, when it was bombarded by the Yugoslav People's Army during the Battle of Vukovar.
The manor, as it previously appeared, is depicted on the reverse of the Croatian 20 kuna banknote, issued in 1993 and 2001.[1]
After four years of restorations, it was completely restored to its pre-war appearance in October 2011.[2]
