Várkert Palace, Renaissance Revival palace in Castle District, Hungary

Várkert Palace is a free-standing eclectic building at Ybl Miklós tér 9–10, closing the gardens below Buda Castle. Its northern part, today's reception, held a café, the southern halls housed the waterworks machinery, and the tower hid the boiler chimneys. Sculptures are by the Schröffl brothers and sgraffito grotesques by Scholtz Róbert.

Architect Miklós Ybl designed and built this palace between 1875 and 1883 as part of a larger plan to connect Buda Castle with the Danube waterfront. This connection reshaped the castle district and contributed to the urban growth of the area.

The building's name changed with its uses: casino from 1992 to 2008, then event palace, and since spring 2018 it has reopened as the Ybl Budai Creative House after a full renovation. Its northern part once held the café, the southern halls the waterworks machinery, and the tower hid the boiler chimneys.

The building stands at Ybl Miklós tér 9–10, below Buda Castle on the Danube bank; tram 19 and 41 stop at Döbrentei tér. The cistern rooms found in 2009 lie north of the building and are not open to visitors, so plan on seeing the exterior and the Ybl Miklós statue of 1896.

North of the building, six vaulted cistern chambers built between 1874 and 1879 filtered Danube water through gravel before steam pumps raised it to Buda Castle. Rediscovered in April 2009 during sewer construction, they lie beside the kiosk, not beneath it, and are not open to visitors.
