Ečka Castle, Protected castle in Ečka, Serbia
Ečka Castle is a stately residence in Serbia with origins dating from the early 1800s. The building features an L-shaped floor plan combining medieval structural elements with later architectural additions.
The building was constructed between 1817 and 1820 under Lazar Agošton's direction as a symbol of prosperity and power. Its opening celebration brought together notable figures and marked an important moment in the region's development.
The name Ečka derives from an ancient Slavic word meaning river, reflecting its location in the landscape. The estate became a center for aristocratic gatherings and hunting traditions that shaped social life in the region.
The property now operates as a hotel and restaurant with event facilities for celebrations and gatherings. Visitors should check opening hours and booking conditions beforehand since access depends on when the venue is operating.
The former ballroom has been turned into a dining space while keeping its original ceiling height and wall details from the original period. Guests dine today where aristocrats once danced during grand celebrations.
