Episcopal Palace, Episcopal palace in Vác, Hungary.

The Episcopal Palace in Vác is a two-storey classicising baroque monument built for Bishop Migazzi Kristóf Antal. Its most ornate parts are the main entrance and the three-windowed aula behind it. A protected park with unusual plants surrounds the building.

Bishop Károly Eszterházy first planned a palace facing the cathedral, with a main façade by the Austrian architect Franz Anton Pilgram. The present building was commissioned by Count Kristóf Antal Migazzi and erected between 1768 and 1775 to designs by the Viennese architect Frigyes Meissl, using local craftsmen. Bishop Ferenc Splényi had its furnishings inventoried in 1787.

The palace is the seat of the Diocese of Vác, and its interior furnishings were inventoried in 1787 under Bishop Splényi Ferenc. The building was commissioned by Count Migazzi Kristóf Antal, who became Archbishop of Vienna and a patron of Vác's church buildings.

The palace stands at Migazzi Kristóf Square 1, close to the city centre. Its most ornate parts, the main entrance and the three-windowed hall behind it, face the visitor arriving from the square, while the protected park with its special plants lies behind the building.

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.
