Here is Chateau Rusovce: The chateau was built in the 19th century in
English gothic style, amid a natural park. Remains of a renaissance church from the 17th century were discovered in the park.
The community is famous as an archaeological site, and
findings include the remains of an early Bronze Age settlement, the
Roman military camp of Gerulta, a Slav-Avar burial ground and a Great Moravian community. (Info from this
site). Croatian name: Rosvar.
