Zichy Palace, Óbuda

Zichy Palace is a baroque château in Óbuda with a symmetrical facade and elaborate ornaments on its exterior. The building is surrounded by maintained gardens and contains multiple museum spaces inside.

Count Miklós Zichy had the palace built between 1746 and 1752, a time of significant construction activity in the region. The building later became a cultural center and kept its original baroque style through the centuries.

The palace houses several museums including the Lajos Kassák Museum and the Vasarely Museum, which display Hungarian art and works by important artists. These spaces allow visitors to see how local creativity developed over time and understand the region's artistic contributions.

The palace is located in Óbuda in District III and is open to visitors who want to explore the museums inside. Plan enough time to walk through the different exhibitions and stroll through the gardens.

The palace rooms originally housed collections by artists and collectors who shaped the building in the 20th century. Today the exhibitions show how the palace itself became a museum of its own artistic history.
