Thirty kilometers northwest of Valpovo, on an ox-bow spur of the River Drava, Donji Miholjac is a town which fell under the sway of the Hilleprand von Prandaus in the eighteenth-century. Ana Hilleprand von Prandau built a long, single-storey arcaded pied-à-terre in the center of town in 1818, inherited 70 years later by Mailath von Székhely, when the male Hilleprand von Prandau line came to an end. Mailath von Székhely’s enlargement of the palace with the frivolous addition of mock-Tudor turrets and medieval-chateau towers, makes Donji Miholjac one of the most eccentric country houses in this part of Europe. There’s no museum in the palace, but the overgrown neighboring park provides a good opportunity to stretch your legs.
