Fantast castle, a forgotten diamond
Somewhere in the Vojvodina plain (Serbia), on the road between Bačka Topola and Bečej, there is a castle, a legacy from the not too far past, today forgotten and abandoned.
Fantastic Castle which was built by Boris Dunđerski.
That castle and the story of the Dunđerski family are his legacy.
Led by the desire to see something this magnificent, this summer we start our journey without basic education and research.
Our disappointment when we found that the castle closed was all the greater, because the whole complex looks beautiful.
Like many other buildings, locations, factories, during the era of privatization in Serbia, this complex came into the possession of a company that no longer had the economic justification to keep it open and closed the gates of the castle to visitors.
It is possible to enter the complex illegally, take pictures... You can imagine how the castle looked in its heyday, but nothing more. It is not possible to climb the highest dome, tour the interior of the castle, enter the Fantast stud…
Next to the castle a church was built where Boris Dunderski was buried, as well as a bell tower, a large swimming pool and a large stable (where horses are still kept today, perhaps descendants of the famous horse Fantast).

One interesting thing, Fantast was the name of Boris Dunderski's favorite horse, who named the castle after him..

There is only hope that someone (a foreign investor or the state of Serbia) will take care of this complex in the coming period and revive the fairy tale about the Fantast Castle.
