Cenarius: Hi MatrixPatrix,

Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache and there is no reaction from the owner. Since the cache no longer meets the Guidelines requirements, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you think you have legitimate reasons for lack of maintenance and want to restore the cache in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible by the email provided in my profile. The message must include the GC code and the name of the cache. If the cache meets the requirements of the Guidelines and the reasons for unarchiving are justified, I may unarchive the cache.

IMPORTANT:
In case of permanent archiving of the cache, the owners are obliged to remove everything that they have placed on the field in relation to the cache (container and all placed waypoints).

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.

Geocache Description:

Dvorac Eltz

Dvorac Eltz je barokni dvorac smješten na obali Dunava u gradu Vukovaru. Dvorac je jedno od najznačajnijih djela barokno-klasicističke arhitekture kontinentalne Hrvatske. Od 1968. u dvorcu je smješten Gradski muzej Vukovar. Filip Karlo Eltz, pripadnik njemačke plemićke obitelji Eltz čije ime dvorac nosi, nadbiskup u Mainzu i njemački knez izbornik, 1736. godine kupuje ogroman posjed s 35 naseljenih mjesta na kojemu će biti sagrađen dvorac. Gradnju dvorca počeo je 1749. vlasnik vukovarskog feuda grof Anzelmo Kazimir Eltz. U početku je bio sagrađen samo središnji dio, a kasnije je dvorac više puta dograđivan. 1781. izvršeno je prvo veće proširenje dvorca, a konačan izgled dvorac je dobio početkom 20. stoljeća po nacrtima bečkog arhitekta Siedeka. Tijekom agresije srpske i jugoslavenske vojske na Hrvatsku, 25. kolovoza 1991., dvorac Eltz postao je prva građevina u Vukovaru bombardirana iz zraka. Do konca rata dvorac je najvećim dijelom posve razoren, a građevine u sklopu dvorca su srušene do temelja. Vlada Republike Hrvatske i Razvojna banka Vijeća Europe financirali su obnovu dvorca koja je započela 2008. i trajala do listopada 2011.

Eltz Manor

Eltz Manor is a Baroque castle in Vukovar, Croatia. The 18th-century manor is the location of the Vukovar City Museum. The manor, as it previously appeared, is depicted on the reverse of the Croatian 20 kuna banknote, issued in 1993 and 2001. The castle was destroyed in 1991 in the Croatian War of Independence. However, after four years of restorations, it was completely restored to its pre-war appearance in October 2011. In 1736, Philipp Karl von Eltz-Kempenich (1665–1743), the Archchancellor of the Holy Roman Empire and Prince-Archbishop of Mainz, purchased a Vukovar manor in Syrmia, in the eastern Kingdom of Slavonia, then part of the Habsburg Monarchy ruled by Emperor Charles VI. The castle was originally built between 1749 and 1751 by the Archchancellor's descendants of the German Catholic noble House of Eltz and was gradually extended over time.
