Naklady na stavbu se vyhouply k milionu zlatych. Velkou sumu si jiste odnesl Hardmuth, ke zpevneni podlozi bylo treba mnoho drevenych pilot a tramu, na dile pracovalo mnoho lidi (pry i arabsti umelci) a vzhledem k tvaru minaretu bylo treba vybudovat specialni spiralovite leseni. Delnici se teto nezvykle konstrukce bali a odmitali na ni vstupovat. Jejich obavy rozprasil pry jakysi cisarsky kapral jizdniho pluku, ktery vyjel na koni az k vrcholu, aniz by se jedina cast leseni pohnula.
Minaret meri skoro 60 m a na jeho horni ochoz vede 302 schodu. Svrchu je videt park, Palava, Bile Karpaty a dokonce vrcholek veze svatostepanskeho domu ve Vidni. Osm verejnosti nepristupnych salu v prvnim patre bylo kdysi „skladistem“ orientalnich predmetu, ktere ze svych dalekych cest dovezli Lichtenstejni. Podlahy i zdi prostor zdobi maurske kresby a napisy.

The cost of building the gold surged to a million. A great amount surely took Hardmuth to strengthen the foundation to be a lot of wooden pillars and beams, on the part of many people working (apparently Arabic and artists) and due to the shape of the minaret was necessary to build a special spiral scaffold. The workers were afraid of the unusual structure and refused to join her. Their fear is apparently a sort of scattered inthe Imperial Regiment Corporal who went out on horseback to the top without one of scaffolding moved.
The minaret is measured almost 60 meters and the upper walkway leads 302 steps. The blade is visible park hills, and even the White Carpathians svatoštepánského top of the tower house in Vienna. Eight closed to the public rooms on the first floor was once the stores of Oriental subjects, which travel far from their imported Lichtenstein. Floor and wall space is decorated with Moorish designs and inscriptions.
