Várkert Palace, Renaissance Revival palace in Castle District, Hungary
The Várkert Palace features ornate columns, detailed stone carvings, and symmetrical facades facing the Danube River in Budapest's District I.
Architect Miklós Ybl constructed this palace between 1875 and 1883 as part of a plan to connect Buda Castle with the Danube River.
The palace complex includes exhibition halls, galleries, and interconnected courtyards that display permanent collections of Hungarian art and design.
Visitors can reach the palace by taking the M2 metro line to Batthyány tér station or using the Budavári Sikló funicular from Chain Bridge.
The palace incorporates a historic cistern system beneath its structure, which served as a water supply facility for the castle district.
