Zichy Castle
Budapest, Hungary, Hungary
Zichy Castle is a Baroque palace located in the historic Óbuda district of Budapest.
Built between 1746 and 1752 for Count Miklós Zichy, it became the centerpiece of the Zichy family’s estate and was known for its elegant architecture, richly decorated interiors, gardens, and cultural life. Even Empress Maria Theresa is said to have visited the castle during its golden age. After the Zichy family’s ownership ended in the 18th century, the building served various purposes, including a military facility, warehouse, manufactory, and housing.
Extensive restoration work in the 20th century preserved the castle and returned it to public use. Today, Zichy Castle is an important cultural center in Budapest. Its buildings house institutions such as the Vasarely Museum, the Kassák Museum, the Óbuda Museum, and a theater, making it a vibrant destination for art, history, and cultural events.
