Abstract
A separate part of the cultural heritage of Vojvodina is represented by around fifty castles, villas and summerhouses located far from the urban environment, mostly constructed in the 18th and 19th, as well as at the beginning of the 20th century in the Hungarian part of the Habsburg Monarchy. This paper explores and draws attention to the present condition of the majority of these buildings, and specifically to the case of the Spitzer Villa in Beočin (Belcsény). The Spitzer Villa represents a unique building, designed in the style of historicism, and is also one of the earliest buildings containing Secessionist style decorative elements in Vojvodina It is also a pioneering example of the use of concrete as the main construction material. The research was undertaken in the field, within the competent institutions, as well as through examination of the available literature and scientific papers. Special attention was dedicated to the potentially different treatment of this corpus of architectural heritage, with particular emphasis on the contemporary research in the field.

Summary
Often neglected in certain environments, cultural heritage is an important element of modern living. In Vojvodina, there is an entire series of buildings that belong to the representative examples of the cultural heritage created in 18th and 19th, as well as at the beginning of the 20th century, and yet they are completely neglected and largely excluded from modern living. These are castles, villas and summer houses built on the estates of large landowners during the times when Vojvodina belonged to the Habsburg Monarchy, and later Austria-Hungary. One of the partial causes for such condition is their relative physical removal from modern roads and urban environments, and the prevailing disinterest of the community for their preservation
