Vajdahunyad Castle, Gothic castle in City Park, Budapest, Hungary.

The castle combines Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural elements within its stone walls, forming a representation of Hungarian architectural history.

Built in 1896 for Hungary's millennium celebrations, the structure began as a temporary wooden building before its reconstruction in stone between 1904 and 1908.

The Hungarian Agricultural Museum occupies the castle premises, displaying extensive collections that detail the nation's farming practices through different periods.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds and museum daily between 10:00 and 16:00 on weekdays, with extended hours until 17:00 during weekends.

The castle features a statue of the mysterious chronicler Anonymus in its courtyard, alongside a bust of actor Béla Lugosi on its external walls.
