The Vajdahunyad Castle<br />

The end of the 19th century brought a special series of events for Hungarians. The nation was celebrating the foundation of the state. The Millennium<br />

Exhibition of 1896 was part of these celebrations. The event resulted in erecting many new buildings. One of them, found in the Városliget, was this castle<br />

with its four different architectural styles designed and carried out by Ignác Alpár. These buildings all display the stylistic features of other monuments<br />

from Hungary’s past which are located elsewhere in the country. After the conclusion of the celebration, the castle was given to the Museum of Hungarian<br />

Agriculture where visitors are always welcome.<br />
