Sándor Palace, Presidential palace in the Castle District, Budapest, Hungary

Sándor Palace is a Neoclassical building on Szent György tér in the Buda Castle District, designed by Mihály Pollack and Johann Aman and completed in 1806. Its pale cream facade has two main storeys above a rusticated ground level, a red-tiled hipped roof with two dormer windows, and a central pediment inscribed MDCCCCVI beneath a sculpted frieze. Green-shuttered windows and pilasters line the upper storey, and two pale-green sentry boxes flank the arched double door.

Count Vince Sándor bought the plot in 1803 and had the palace built by 1806 to designs by Mihály Pollack and Johann Aman. His son Móric, the acrobatic horseman, was born here in 1805. After 1867 Gyula Andrássy leased it as the prime minister's residence, and the state bought it in 1881; Pál Teleki took his life here in April 1941.

The Mirror Hall serves as the setting for diplomatic ceremonies where foreign ambassadors present their credentials to the Hungarian president. This formal space shapes how the state conducts its international relations and receives representatives from other nations.

The building opens to visitors on select summer days, with entry through the vaulted southern main gate. A grand staircase from there leads into the main rooms and shows how the interior spaces connect.

The Knights' Hall in the northeast corner once served as stables; its red stone horse troughs still survive. The room later hosted press conferences and is sometimes still used for them today.
