Vienna Gate, Medieval entrance at Vienna Gate Square in Buda Castle, Budapest, Hungary
The Vienna Gate features a walkway connecting parts of the Bastion Promenade and includes ornamental reliefs created by sculptor Béla Ohmann.
The gate underwent multiple transformations, from its medieval origins as Saturday Gate to its complete demolition in 1896 and subsequent restoration in 1936.
The structure represents the enduring connection between Budapest and Vienna, reflecting architectural elements from both Hungarian and Austrian traditions.
Modern automatic barriers control vehicle access through the gate, while pedestrian paths provide easy connections to other parts of the Castle district.
The current gate, designed by architect Jenő Kismarty-Lechner, includes a sculpture of a running angel and commemorates the 1686 recapture of Buda.
