Török Bank, Bank building in Szervita Tér, Budapest District V, Hungary
Török Bank is a bank building with Art Nouveau style elements located at Szervita Tér in Budapest District V. Its facade displays detailed mosaics, two Medusa heads, and ornamental designs covering the entire exterior surface.
The building was constructed in 1906 by architects Armin Hegedűs and Henrik Böhm during a period of Hungarian economic growth and architectural innovation. This era saw the rise of Art Nouveau style across Budapest's urban landscape.
The centerpiece mosaic called 'Glory to Hungary' shows the Virgin Mary surrounded by angels and shepherds alongside figures like István Széchenyi and Lajos Kossuth. This imagery reflects the national pride that the building displays through its public decoration.
The building sits near Váci utca shopping street and is easily accessible by public transportation from central Budapest. Walking paths connect this location to many main attractions in the surrounding area.
A large crystal globe once topped the roof of this structure but was removed before World War II. Traces of where it was mounted remain visible on the roofline today.
