Vajdahunyad Castle, Gothic castle in City Park, Budapest, Hungary.
Vajdahunyad Castle is a structure in City Park that brings together multiple architectural styles within its stone walls. The building combines Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque forms, creating a representation of Hungary's architectural heritage.
The castle was built in 1896 to mark Hungary's millennium celebration, starting as a temporary wooden structure. It was reconstructed in stone between 1904 and 1908 and became the permanent form seen today.
The castle houses the Hungarian Agricultural Museum, which displays how farming and livestock raising evolved across different periods of the nation's past. The exhibits show the daily work and tools that shaped rural life through the centuries.
The castle and its museum can be visited during daytime hours, with opening times varying by season. Visitors should allow time to explore both the exterior grounds and the indoor collections at a comfortable pace.
The castle courtyard displays a statue of Anonymus, a mysterious medieval chronicler whose true identity remains unknown to this day. This figure represents one of Hungary's most intriguing historical figures, making the statue a point of curiosity for many visitors.
