Na imanju, koje se prostiralo na 2.600 jutara zemlje, pre jednog veka, Bogdan Dunđerski je podigao dvorac "Fantast". Građen je po njegovoj zamisli inspirisanom ljubavlju prema lepoj ali tuđoj ženi, Mari Dinjački koja je bila supruga Bogdanovog kovača. Često je ovaj zanatlija boravio na imanju u pratnji supruge i Dunđerski se zagledao u nju. Kada je kovač shvatio šta se događa, počeo je da grdi ženu, ali je Bogdan našao rešenje. Dao je kovaču 21 jutro zemlje i nešto novca. Tako je nastala kovačka radionica u Srbobranu. Mara je godinama vodila čitavo imanje jer je Bogdan često bio odsutan. Iako mlađa, umrla je pre njega u pedesetim godinama, dok je Bogdan, kako kažu, dugo poživeo. Dočekao je osmu deceniju ali, kako nije imao zakonite potomke, želeo je da dvorac postane poljoprivredna akademija namenjena siromašnim studentima od Baranje do Srema.

Često je drugovao sa Urošem Predićem i, kao vrlo religiozan, odlučio je da sagradi na svom imanju kapelu Sv. Đorđa jer je saznao da se nekada na tom prostoru nalazila crkva. Predić je oslikao ikonostas velike umetničke vrednosti, a Bogdan Dunđerski je imao samo jedan uslov - da Bogorodica dobije Marin lik. Turisti koji danas posete kapelu i vide njen portret, tvrde da je Bogdan, bez sumnje, imao ukusa. Na tom mestu je i sahranjen 1943. godine.

A century ago, on an estate covering 2.600 acres, the Fantast castle came into being. It was build according to Bogdan’s vision, whose inspiration was derived from the love he felt towards the beautiful Mara Dinjački, the wife of his blacksmith. The blacksmith would often stay late on the estate with his wife – and this was how Bogdan fell in love with her. When the blacksmith found out that something was going on he reproached his wife, but Bogdan soothed the unhappy husband with 21 acres of land and a sum of money. That’s the story of how the blacksmith’s shop was founded in the town of Srbobran. For years, Mara ran Bogdan’s estate because he was often absent. Though she was younger, Mara died in her fifties, while Bogdan, they say, lived to a ripe old age. At the age of 80, and with no legal heirs, he decided to transform the castle into an agricultural school for poor students from Baranja and Srem.

Bogdan was a pious man, and once he heard that church had once stood on his estate, he decided to built a chapel dedicated to St. George. He was in friendly terms with Uroš Predić, who painted the iconostas which is a great work of art. Bogdan imposed one condition. The image of the Mother of the God had to resemble Mara. Visitors who see the painting say that it confirmes that Bogdan had good taste. He was buried in the church in 1943.

Hi Slavice...
Evo me jos jednom, pa i kazu: "tri put Bog pomaze"...
Isto tako, kao Becejcu, draga mi je ova Ikona, kao i divna pricica...
Lepo predstavljena i lepo uradjena. Well dan...
Poz. George

(Dopuna: Mara je Dinjaški... a ne ?ki... Drugo, zdanje se zvalo "Dvorac Dundjerskog", a tek posle nacionalizacije i Bogdanove smrti, YUgovici su ga prekrstili u "Fantas", po imenu jednog prvoklasnog konja trkaca")...
