Parliament Building
The Parliament Building in Budapest, also known as Országház, is Hungary’s most iconic architectural landmark, situated on Kossuth Square along the Danube’s eastern bank. Designed by Imre Steindl in a neo-Gothic style inspired by London’s Palace of Westminster, it was built between 1885 and 1904 to symbolize Hungarian sovereignty and national pride within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The building’s grand façade features statues of Hungarian rulers, military leaders, and coats of arms, while the interior boasts 691 rooms, 10 courtyards, ornate staircases, and stained glass by Miksa Róth. The 96-meter-high Renaissance Revival dome commemorates Hungary’s millennium in 1896. Visitors can tour the Main Staircase, the former Upper House Hall, and the hexadecagonal central hall, where the Holy Crown of Hungary is displayed. The Parliament has witnessed pivotal historical moments, including the 1956 uprising, and today remains a symbol of Hungary’s democracy, history, and architectural grandeur.
