The former Hatvan Castle was probably destroyed during this era. From 1746 to 1841, the city belonged to Antal Grassalkovich I and his family. He ordered the building of the present Grassalkovich Mansion and the parish in the mid-18th century. Antal Grassalkovich I made several architects to build this so-called castle in two separate parts.
Grassalkovich was Maria Theresa's vassal, so the palace was used for various balls and parties of the Habsburg royal court. [1] For example, it was Haydn who conducted the orchestra when Maria Theresa's daughter married Albert of Sachsen-Teschen, then governor of the Kingdom of Hungary (see Bratislava Castle).
The baroque-style Reformed Church, built in 1745, is an onion dome church with a beautifully simple façade. The building process was patronized; the money and the plot for the church were donated by Antal Grassalkovich I who had demolished a Reformed Church built in 1657 at the site of the present Royal Castle.
