Have a look at the dome structure of the Hungarian Former Honvéd High Command! – PHOTOS
The former building of the Honvéd High Command has reached the highest point of its structure in the Palace Quarter of the Buda Castle. According to tradition, the significant occasion was celebrated with a posy inaugural ceremony. The revival of the dominant buildings of Dísz Square and Szent György Square is progressing according to plan.
The Former Honvéd High Command was damaged during WWII
The Neo-Renaissance building of the former High Command of the Armed Forces received a serious, but not fatal, hit during WWII. However, for ideological reasons, it was not restored and was demolished down to the first floor. As one of the most spectacular elements of the reconstruction works that began in March, the dome structure was lifted into place, which can now be seen again after many decades.
Posy ceremony according to tradition
Following the traditions, both builders and clients held a joint posy celebration. As a part of the ceremony, a decorative posy tree was placed on the dome of the building. They raised the tree to the top of the building together with the steel frame of the lantern that adorns the dome.
