Vajdahunyad Castle

Vajdahunyad Castle is an eclectic, historicist castle complex in Budapest's City Park assembled from architectural models drawn from across the former Kingdom of Hungary. Built in 1896 for the Millennial Exhibition and rebuilt in stone by 1908, it functions today as a museum complex and park landmark.

As it stood in 1908

The shape it held in its prime.

A composite castle of pale limestone and warm beige masonry with steep red-brown tiled roofs, numerous pointed gables and small conical turrets. A central square stone tower with a tall pyramidal roof anchors a run of linked wings that display Gothic pointed arches, Renaissance mullioned windows and Baroque gables; a slender turret capped in green copper rises among them. Curtain walls and arcades connect the towers. The complex sits inside a city park beside a long reflecting pool and is fully roofed and complete at its prime.
