PHOTOS: Astounding stairway leading to Buda Castle’s Sándor Palace is being rebuilt
Change language:
According to a statement shared on the official Facebook page of the National Hauszmann Programme, they started to rebuild the so-called Ybl stairway connecting Szent György Square with Palota Street in Buda. The Szent György Square is a central place in the Buda Palace where the Sándor Palace, the official residence of the Hungarian President, is.
Ybl stairway to connect Szent György Square with Buda
The stairway has a number of sections, and the first section will be ready soon, the Nemzeti Hauszmann Programme wrote.
The Ybl stairway starts at the Southern wall of Archduke Joseph’s palace, which is also being rebuilt. We detailed that project with photos HERE. The stairway leads down from there on the Western slopes of the castle hill to Palota Street. It has several turning points and rests. From the Ybl stairway, you may also reach Alagút Street and Krisztina Square.
In creating the stairway’s support structure, they follow the most modern technical requirements, considering the original look with the help of contemporary photos. The appearance, material use, and outer covers resemble the original stairway. Therefore, it will fit with the clinker and Süttő limestone cover of the original Ybl abutment.
Miklós Ybl built the original stairway in the second half of the 19th century. Fights during the siege of Budapest during WWII damaged it. Even though its harms were not serious, the Communists deconstructed it without an explanation.
Who blew up Bridges – the Russians or the Germans – why do keep seeing different stories?
Maybe you are unaware the Russian didn’t come here for cheese. They lost more people than all of Europe. The hate of Russia continues today – like the rest of Eastern Europe it nothing like what it was in that era either is Russia. Is it because hungary was with Germany. Don’t mention the Germans wanted it to take over Russia. The hysteria everytime Putins name is mentioned is crazy. Moscow and at Petersburg are 2 of europes greatest cities and don’t have the insanity of london and paris – the future looks very dark.
The Ybl stairs – will be watched carefully, in case of a GROWING need, the Prime Minister of Hungary, which BUILDS on him, into making a “Quick” and secretive exit, out of his current residency and Hungary.
How weight bearing will they be ?
We know of his personal weight, and the LUGGAGE – in his name V. M. Orban carries, for the DESTRUCTION – he and his Fidesz Government have CAUSED on Hungary, plus what he “throws into” his over-night Gladstone Bag.
Hope these steps are spared not subjected to an Orban escape plan, and that he SURRENDERS orderly from his residency or “place” he would have been “in hiding”.
