Kneževi Vinogradi

KNEŽEVI VINOGRADI (PRINCE'S VINEYARDS) - During the Roman Empire, a colony under the name of Donatium was situated here, which actually makes Suljoš (the folk name for Kneževi Vinogradi) one of the oldest places in Baranja. At the same time, it is a favourite summer destination of bathers and recreationists from the entire region who traditionally enjoy the offer of the Sports and Recreation Centre «Bazeni» (Swimming Pools). Today’s district covers the Eastern part of Baranja, with a part of Kopački rit Nature Park, while the eastern district border crosses over to the left bank of the Drava river. Kneževi Vinogradi are 25 kilometres away from Osijek, 10 kilometres from Beli Manastir and 15 kilometres from the border to Vojvodina. Under its present name, the settlement was first mentioned in 1687, before the Belje manorial estate was founded.
