Gróf Palace, Art Nouveau palace in Szeged, Hungary.
Gróf Palace is an Art Nouveau structure with triangular forms, decorated balconies, and wall niches that extend across its entire exterior. The ornaments draw from Hungarian folk traditions and fill nearly every surface with detail.
Construction took place between 1912 and 1913 under architect Jenő Raichl's design, and it was named after a local legal officer. The building reflects how Art Nouveau style spread through Central Europe during that period.
The exterior displays ceramic ornaments and colors from Eastern European artistic styles popular in the early 1900s. Walking past, you notice these blue, yellow, and gold details in almost every corner of the front.
The palace sits in central Szeged and is easily reached on foot from nearby streets. Several other notable buildings like Reök Palace and the New Synagogue are within walking distance, making it simple to explore multiple structures in one visit.
Wrought iron elements cover the entire structure, from window railings to flower stands and banisters. These metal details show the level of craftsmanship that builders put into even decorative features.
