European Royal Residences: Buda Castle District gains prestigious international membership! – PHOTOS
Change language:
The renewed Buda Castle District has officially joined the prestigious European Royal Residences organisation, as announced by the National Hauszmann Programme on social media.
The National Hauszmann Programme
Originally designed by Alajos Hauszmann, the Buda Castle was completed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the National Hauszmann Programme writes. Known for its ornate architecture and prime location, it became one of Europe’s distinguished royal residences. Unfortunately, World War II left the castle and its surroundings heavily damaged.
Although many buildings could have been preserved, the subsequent communist era led to the demolition of several structures and a simplified reconstruction of the palace, stripping it of its original grandeur.
The National Hauszmann Program aims to restore the Buda Castle District to its former splendour, reflecting its appearance from a century ago, after many years of neglect.
Buda Castle District joins elite European Royal Residences Association
In recent years, the program’s efforts have received significant international recognition and awards. This year, the European Royal Residences Association welcomed the renewed Buda Castle District as a full member. This prestigious group includes renowned sites such as Spain’s Alhambra and Poland’s Wawel Castle.
