Konak is a village that belonged to the Zagreb Archdiocese for lost property on the Military Border around Zagreb and Karlovac. That is why Kajkavian Croats settled in that place, as well as in nearby Boka. Nevertheless, the decision of the Zagreb Archdiocese to sell the land to the rich Danijel family is responsible for this castle. Namely, that family descended from Erdelj to the plain of Banat – which was intensively inhabited in those decades and was a kind of `Midwest of Europe`. Count Ladislav Danijel already had a great reputation and wealth at that time, and Banat was a `promised land` for immigrants. This family was so powerful that Baron Ernst Daniel was also the Minister of Trade of Hungary at the end of the 19th century.

In 1898, Count Ladislav Danijel decided to build a castle in the village of Konak, near the bridge on the river Brzava. After the formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, an agrarian reform took place in which the latifundia of the Vojvodina spahis were abruptly reduced and the land was divided among volunteers and Serbian colonists. After that, Count Daniel lost his patience, sold off the rest of the land and buildings and left for the newly formed Hungary. The attractive building is bought by the Belgrade industrialist Kosta Ilić and he turns the building into a small clothing factory. The factory is inherited by his son Vlada, the last owner before nationalization. After 1945, the building became an orphanage, then a host building. Finally, in 1959, the building became the elementary school `Vuk Karadžic` – and today it has that purpose.
