Sándor Palace<br />

24<br />

This classicist palace, next to the Buda Castle, was erected in 1806, on behalf of Count Vince Sándor. After 1867, it had been owned by the Pallavicini<br />

family who later sold it to the state. From 1867 on until the Second World War, Gyula Andrássy and the eighteen other prime ministers lived and<br />

worked in this building. During the bombings most of it was demolished, and parts of its equipment that hadn’t been destroyed went to the Soviet<br />

Union as indemnity. After years of researching and designing, the palace got its splendour back by 2002 and since 2003 it has been the office of<br />

the Hungarian prime minister.
