“SEČEN” CASTLE – Temerin

“SEČEN” CASTLE – Temerin

The Castle in Temerin holds a special place in the history and culture of the area. Its walls, more than two centuries old, have witnessed many significant events, while important figures and renowned families have resided within them. This two-storey building displays clear stylistic features of elegant and restrained Baroque Classicism. This aristocratic residential building is one of the few to have survived in an almost original form.

The castle was built by the Sečen family in 1795. The Sečen family later sold Temerin and the castle to Antal Fernbach, a merchant from Apatin. His heirs, Ana and Petar Fernbach, owned the entire Temerin estate until the agrarian reform of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1920.

The finest gardeners created a beautiful park during the Sečen period, which the Fernbachs later expanded to ten jutra. A brick wall and a moat shielded the park from the outside world. The gardens were filled with flowers, ornamental plants and fountains. From the beginning of the 20th century, the garden, planted with carefully selected and unusual trees, was further adorned with a fountain and various sculptures.

Temerin Castle was placed under state protection as an important cultural heritage site in 1949, while the park was protected in 1977. Today, the castle houses the Lukijan Mušicki Secondary School.

The castle can be visited at weekends by prior arrangement with the Tourism Organisation of the Municipality of Temerin.

The castle is open to visitors.
