About Spitzer castle:
The castle of the Spitzer family is located in Beočin and was built in 1898 for a family of wealthy Ashkenazi Jewish landowners who were one of the three co-owners of the Beočin cement plant. The Spitzer family is originally from Visegrád in northern Hungary, where they also owned factories. Eduard Spitzer himself was born in 1845 in a rich Jewish family as the fourth of five children and spent almost his entire life in Vienna, Budapest and Beočin. He is believed to have come from a large family of Polish Jews who migrated to Austria, Hungary and Romania on various business opportunities. The company “Redlich, Orenstein und Spitzer” bought a cement plant in 1887 from József Csik, and later Eduard Spitzer would marry Ana Orenstein, who was the daughter of Baron Heinrich Orenstein, and who taught the children of cement workers. The stage for the construction of the castle was set, since now Eduard (Hungarian Ede) had both a family and a factory, and decided to build the castle right next to a high-profit cement plant to oversee the entire work process.

About Fantast castle:
Fantast Castle, also known as Dunđerski Palace, is a Serbian castle built by Bogdan Dunđerski from 1919 onwards. Dundjerski family originally came from Herzegovina to Vojvodina (Serbia) in the late nineteenth century and at one point he owned 1500 hectares of land.
The castle became one of the most famous castles in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. It was heavily bombed in 1945, and subsequently seized by the government of SFR Yugoslavia, who proclaimed it as state wealth. Most of the original furnishings were removed, and today only 65 hectares of the surrounding land remain part of the castle's grounds.
It is said that Bogdan Dunđerski built the lavish castle and lands to prove to all that he was not bankrupt as had been rumored. He never married but it was known that he had a great fondness for fine women, horses and wine.
