Summary/Abstract: Bishops of Bosnia and Ðakovo, owners of the large estate given as a donation by Croatian-Hungarian kings, have managed to develop a successful and rich manor thanks to their wise management. The income made it possible to improve life in the region, to maintain normal Church life and become some of the greatest patrons of the arts in Croatia. Besides agriculture and forest management, they were also involved in cattle breeding, wine-growing, and bloodhound breeding (most famous breed being the Croatian sheep-dog), bee-keeping and cultivation of silk-worm. They were most famous for their horse-breeding, especially for the Arabian horse and Lippizaner horse. Their horse-farm celebrated the 500th anniversary in 2006.
