Episcopal Palace, Episcopal palace in Vác, Hungary.
The Episcopal Palace in Vác is a baroque building featuring symmetrical wings, grand stone staircases, and decorative elements typical of 1770s architectural design. Inside, a museum displays Roman and medieval artifacts from the surrounding region.
Architect Meissl Frigyes designed and constructed this building between 1768 and 1775 during a period of architectural advancement in Hungary. The palace's completion coincided with a time when modern forms and administrative structures were reshaping urban life.
The palace serves as the residence of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Vác and continues to function as a center for church administration. Visitors can observe how this building remains central to the religious and administrative life of the city.
The building is located at Migazzi Kristóf Square 1 near the city center and is easily accessible. When visiting the museum on the grounds, plan time for both the exhibits inside and the gardens surrounding it.
The side wing of the palace offers views toward Konstantin Square, an important public space in Vác. The botanical garden on the grounds is among the country's protected collections and displays carefully selected plant varieties.
