Promontor Palace

Nothing is left from the main building, except an 18th-century plan by the architect Franz Xaver Hacker in the Hofkammerarchiv in Vienna, Austria.

Out of gratitude, Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor (1640–1705) granted him estates in Hungary and Slavonia, the eastern part of Croatia.

In 1698, the prince extended these domains by acquiring additional estates, such as Csepel Island and the opposite laying vineyards of Promontor.

In 1702, prince Eugene commissioned Johan Lukas von Hildebrandt to build him a summer palace in Ráckeve on Csepel Island, the so-called Savoy Castle.

[1] After their completion, prince Eugene did not often visit his palaces in Ráckeve and Promontor, only three times: October 1717, and June and August 1718.

At the start of the 20th century, the main building of the palace was demolished to make place for a sparkling wine factory.
