Nagytétény Palace

One of the finest monuments of Baroque architecture in Hungary, the former Száraz-Rudnyánszky Palace was designed by András Mayerhoffer and built by Baron József Rudnyánszky (spouse: Julianna Száraz) between 1743 and 1751 on the place of a Roman villa rustica and using an earlier palace that stood here.

In 1686 captain Ferenc Buchingen received the palace in honour of his merits in the war against the Turks.

Baron György Száraz moved in the palace in 1716 and started to reconstruct and expand the building.

The terrace of the palace originally reached to the Danube bank but later it was divided by the railway line and a main road.

The applied arts exhibition presents artifacts of Hungarian and foreign furniture-making in a historical context with contemporary carpets, stoves and ceramics.
