A prestigious award for an imposing monument in Budapest – The Millenium House

The Millennium House in Budapest’s Városliget (City Park) has been awarded the Bernhard Remmers Prize 2022 in the “International” category.

The Millenium House, Budapest

The 1,250 square metre building has been renovated as a cultural community space, with an interactive exhibition space and a small auditorium on the lower ground floor, which has been used primarily as a museum education space since 2019.

The rich Zsolnay decoration on the façade has been restored by dozens of restorers, while the interior design has been rebuilt by removing the retrofitting, thus restoring the original structure of the space. Large glass panels have been installed over the two wings of the building, allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces. The main entrance of the building has been returned to its original position facing Hermina Street.

In front of the main entrance of the building, which is more than 130 years old, a rose garden of 1,500 plants has been created as part of the landscape renewal of the park, with a new Zsolnay fountain as a central feature, in harmony with the rich decoration of the building’s facade.

Bernhard Remmers Prize

After a break of 4 years, the Bernhard Remmers Academy has again awarded the Bernhard Remmers Prize for outstanding achievements in the field of monument preservation.

“It symbolises an important cause close to the heart of the Remmers company in recognition of outstanding achievements in the field of heritage conservation. The company distributes restoration materials worldwide,”

the Épkar Zrt. Facebook post states.

After the ceremony could not take place in 2020 due to the crown virus, the event celebrated a successful return this year. Another special feature of this year’s awards is the launch of an International Awards category for the first time.
