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

Városliget, was this castle with its four different architectural styles designed and carried out by Ignác Alpár. These buildings all display the<br />

the castle was given to the Museum of Hungarian Agriculture where visitors are always welcome.<br />
