A fairy-tale castle situated on an island in Budapest's City Park (Városliget), built to celebrate the Hungarian Millennium in 1896. Designed by Ignác Alpár, it harmoniously combines architectural styles spanning Hungary's history, blending Romanesque chapels, Gothic spires, Renaissance loggias, and Baroque wings. In the quiet courtyard sits the mysterious hooded bronze statue of the medieval chronicler Anonymous.
