The “Kaštel” castle is situated about 60 kilometres north of Belgrade and only 7 kilometres away from Zrenjanin, in Ečka village. It was built in the English style. The constructing lasted from 1816 till 1820. TheThe castle was built by the Lazar family. Infamous Franz Listz performed at the official opening ceremony, on 28th of August, 1820.
The castle has 38 rooms and 7 suites, which are a mixture of modern and Medieval style, designed and equipped to give students and staff optimal background for learning, research, artistic development, creativity and musical expansion. Authentic atmosphere perfectly corresponds to elegance and glamour of opera art.
