PHOTOS: Buda Castle becoming more beautiful than ever!
Change language:
The facades around the Buda Castle’s illustrious Lions’ Court have not been cleaned for decades. Fortunately, the Nemzeti Hauszmann Program (National Hauszmann Programme) provides money and staff to do so. As a result, Hungary’s popular royal castle watching over Budapest from the castle hill will be more beautiful than ever.
According to the Facebook page of the National Hauszmann Program, they removed the contamination that formed a thick layer on the stones of the court’s main gate. They also shared some images to get a grasp of the difference. Check them out below:
They said their employees take special care of monument protection issues. As a result, they use solutions that do not harm any surfaces and do not pose any threat to our health or the environment.
Buda Castle’s Fountain of the Fishing Children will also be renewed
They are working on the annual restoration and reparation of the Fountain of the Fishing Children. The fountain is near the Habsburg Gate and the nearly nine-ton Turul statue.
The Habsburg Gate was designed by Alajos Hauszmann, the designer of the royal palace. Meanwhile, the fountain was completed in 1900 following the plans of Károly Senyei. We detailed their renovation in THIS article.
Now, the castle’s operator will cover it with a material that will protect it from UV radiation, and prevent algae growth and fungal coverage.
