PHOTOS: Stunning archduke palace being rebuilt in Buda Castle

Archduke Joseph’s Palace in the Buda Castle was one of the most beautiful historic Hungarian buildings. However, the Communist regime ruling in Hungary after WWII could not garner enough money to rebuild it after the devastation caused by the Soviet siege of Budapest in the world war. Therefore, they demolished it in the 1960s. Now, the Orbán government is rebuilding it, and it will look astonishing. Scroll down for some photos!

According to the official Facebook page of the Nemzeti Hauszmann Program, which coordinates the reconstruction process, the subcontractors decorated the facade of the new palace. The company follows the reconstruction’s timeline, they said in their Facebook post.

The work on the facade started last autumn. The workers are currently placing the doors and windows and insulating the facade. Furthermore, they began to install decorated cobblestones on the Southern and Eastern sides of the building. Moreover, the patterning of the facade ornaments is also happening. Their placement will be one of the most spectacular parts of the construction process.

Archduke Joseph’s Palace will be rebuilt with the former stables and the fairy-tale-like palace garden. In the future, the building will host the Constitutional Court of Hungary.

The exterior of the building will follow the outlook of the original palace. In the interior, they will rebuild the unique and jaw-dropping Grand Stairway which will be covered by glass, and the first-floor ballroom.
