The palace, also known as the Károlyi-Csekonics Palace, was built in 1881 for Count
István Károlyi and his wife, Margit , and was designed by Viennese architects
Ferdinand Fellner and
Hermann Helmer. The palace is located in the
Palotanegyed neighborhood, in the 8th district of Budapest, on a plot between two streets, with a one-story façade on Museum Street () and a four-story façade on Reviczky Street (), as well as a large inner courtyard. Inside, the wing on Museum Street has a hall, with works by
Endre Thék, a courtyard entrance hall, coffered ceilings, and twisted columns. In the 1890s, the grand hall on Reviczky Street was reconstructed by
Arthur Meinig.
Current use The palace previously housed the Hungarian Government's
Office of Public Administration and Justice. Between 2016 and 2020, the palace underwent a complete restoration, with the Museum Street wing converted into an event space and the Reviczky Street wing transformed into a modern educational unit for the
Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary. ==Gallery==
