Glass House, Historical memorial center in Budapest, Hungary

The Glass House at Vadász Street 29 features a preserved structure with three memorial plaques on its exterior walls commemorating wartime events.

During 1944-1945, Swiss Vice-Consul Carl Lutz transformed this former glass factory into a sanctuary that protected 3,000 Jews from persecution.

The Memorial Room contains documentation and exhibits that illustrate the building's role in safeguarding Hungarian Jewish residents during World War II.

Located near Saint Stephen's Basilica, the Memorial Room welcomes visitors daily between 13:00 and 16:00 with free admission to explore the exhibits.

The building served as headquarters for the Jewish youth underground movement, which created false documents to establish escape routes for threatened individuals.

Opening Hours: 13:00-16:00
