Every corner of the village was arranged for this occasion, the head chef was brought from Vienna, horses and carriages shone to welcome 300 distinguished guests. The opening of the castle was also attended by the famous Count Esterhazy, the most distinguished landowner in Hungary. The night before the opening, a solemn torchlight procession was organized, while in the morning, the church bells announced the beginning of the ceremony and invited all the inhabitants of Ečka to celebrate and consecrate the castle. The highlight of this ceremony was the Ečani Ball. On the third day, Franz Liszet delighted everyone present with his virtuoso playing.
