The coronation of Franz Joseph I. took place on 8, June 1867. Since the vow of the king included regular visit to Hungary, the Hungarian state provided a mansion close to Buda for the royal couple. The castle and the park surrounding it were bought in the spring of 1867. An estate of over 30 000 hectares were included for agricultural use
The castle among hills had made Elizabeth interested earlier. She had visited the wounded soldiers of the Prussian-Austrian war in 1866. A publicized part of Franz Joseph's letter is linked to this visit. He advised his wife 'not to look at the castle with the intention of buying it since nowadays we do not have money and we have to save'.
However, the queen began to be attracted to the castle since it reminded her to Possenhofen where she had spent her childhood. The coronation present provided her extremely happy days. She could practice her horse stunts; she could take lonely walks in the forests nearby and take part in the famous huntings. Her stays in the castle in springs and falls were always seamless.
The building with 160 rooms was made comfortable for the couple. The suits reconstructed after contemporary photos and historic sources are now part of the permanent exhibition of the Castle Museum. The temporary exhibition on occasion of the 135th anniversary of the coronation shows the event of the coronation, its participants as well as the present of the nation, the castle of Gödöllő. Among the displayed objects, the visitors may see a copy made in the 19th century of the jewelry of the coronation.
