Sažetak
The research of the archival materials of a large fund i.e. parts HR-DAOS 476 from 1722 until 1724 has resulted in this paper dealing with manor administration takeover from Royal Chamber military authority into the private property of royal counsellor Petar Antun Hilleprand baron Prandau. By using various documents, letters, notes, reports and contracts, this paper conveys less known data about complex construction work such as the reconstruction of the mediaeval fortress into a representative castle opposite the gardens and alleys that lead to the centuries-old forest. The contracts with various masters and apprentices working on the reconstruction of the castle are subject of the research in addition to the contracts made with milkmen, brewers, inn-keepers, game-keepers and gardeners. The author presents the educated lawyer and cultivated feudalist Petar Antun Hilleprand as an entrepreneur who formed his manor as a complex enterprise with elaborated duties for all its employees. On the occasion of his visits in spring and autumn, the baron checked work quality, made necessary changes and supplemented regulations for managing various activities. With such manor structure he had a complete survey over manor proceeds and expenditure thus by staying in Vienna, he could undisturbedly make decisions about its progress.
