Fishermen's Bastion was built between 1895 and 1902 in Neo-Gothic style. It was designed and built by Frigyes Schulek.

In the Medieval age this part of the castle wall was guarded by the guild of fishermen, it was named after that. Obviously, the present Fishermen's Bastion has never had any role of defence. It is a spectacular looking-out terrace, with impressive stairs and walking paths.]]>

Dohány Synagogue
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: DonMartini
@ 2006-02-26 05:57:45
The Great Synagogue in Dohány Street, also known as the Dohány Synagogue, or the Tabac-Schul, the Yiddish translation of dohány (tobacco), after the Hungarian name of the street, is located in Belváros, the inner city of Pest, in the eastern section of Budapest. It was built between 1854-1859 by the Neolog Jewish community of Pest according to the plans of the Viennese architect Ludwig Foerster. The synagogue neighbors a major Budapest thoroughfare expressing the optimism and the newly elevated status of the Hungarian Jews in the mid years of the 19th century.

It is a monumental, magnificent synagogue, with a capacity of 2,964 seats (1,492 for men and 1,472 in the women's galleries) making it one of the largest in the world. The building has a length of more than 53 meters while its width has 26.5 meters. The design of the Dohány Street synagogue, while basically in a Moorish style, also features a mixture of Byzantine, Romantic, and Gothic elements.

In 1991 a monument dedicated to the memory of the Hungarian Jews who perished in the Holocaust was installed in the rear courtyard of the synagogue, in a small park named for Raoul Wallenberg. The Holocaust memorial, the work of Imre Varga, resembles a weeping willow whose leaves bear inscriptions with the names of the victims and boasts the inscription Whose agony is greater than mine. 240 non-Jewish Hungarians "righteous among the nations", who saved Jews during the Holocaust, are inscribed on four large marble plaques. The memorial was made possible by the generous support of the New York based Emanuel Foundation for Hungarian Culture, with funds raised from private donors. The National Jewish Museum (Orszagos Zsido Vallasi es Torteneti Gyujtemeny) is located within the synagogue compound.

Today the Great Synagogue in Dohány Street, for a long time one of the most renowned landmarks of Budapest, is serving as the main synagogue of the local Jewish community as well as a major tourist attraction.

Szent István Gimnázium (Saint Stephen basilica)
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2005-11-17 12:21:08
The Saint Stephen basilica is the largest church in Hungary. It was designed by Jozsef Hild in 1845, although it was only finished in 1906, due to some serious construction errors: in 1851 the dome collapsed. The remainder of the church was then demolished and replaced by a neo-Renaissance design by Miklós Ybl. This one is still standing, even though it got heavily damaged during World War II.

The interior of the basilica is a tad dark, but still light enough to admire the many decorations. No amount of gold leaf has been spared. Among the most valued sights within the church are the relics of St. Stephen. In the Szent jobb kápolna (chapel of the Sacred Right) you can find a piece of his skull, and in the church itself the most sacred relic in all of Hungary is on display in a golden display case: the mummified hand of Stephan. A bit grisly, but very fascinating.]]>

Hungarian Railway Historical Park
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2005-11-17 10:42:03
The Hungarian Railway History Park - the first interactive railway park in Europe exhibits more than 100 railway vehicles on about 70.000 square metres, at the former Northern Towing Establishment. This establishment was opened in 1913, and was the biggest towing establishment of the time.

During the second world war the whole of the Hungarian railway, involving the towing eatblishment, was seriously demaged. The building of the heating house was totally destroyed and never buit up again. After the war the towing establishment was named after Kató Hámán.

Because of the spread of diesel and electric running - and the ceasure of the steam - the heating house got less and less important and totally depreciated by the beginning of the 90'ies. After the change of regime it regained its original name, but the diesel engines operating here were moved to another region in 1997.

On 22nd November 1999 the cornerstone of the Hungarian Railway History park was laid.m The reconstruction works of the towing establishmnet were started.

After serious works completed the first interactive railway park in Europe was opened on 14th July 2000. The renovation of the other parts in the former establishment is an ongoing procedure eversince.

It was an important purpose of the founders not only to operate the park as an exhibition but to show appliences that can be tried out as well. Because of lack of space, machines are exhibited both inside and outside of the heating house.

The development of the railway is presented on a scale spanning from steam engines of the 1870'ies through the powerful electric engines. Models are also exhibited in a separate building where the the Hungarian Union of Railway Modellers is introduced.]]>

On the Grand Boulevard of Budapest, just one hundred feet from the river Danube, stands an impressive theatre building. Its elegant and radiant late-nineteen-century design makes it the final section of the Boulevard’s most attractive building. Evening, that time of the day when theatres are most alive, finds it in full bloom. It is no wonder that so many people fall in love with the building on first sight. The Vígszínház is one of the finest examples of theatre buildings designed by Fellner and Helmer, whose 19th century "new-standard theatres" can be found scattered across central Europe.

Széchenyi furdo is one of Europe's greatest spa complexes. A physiotherapeutical department, run as part of an outpatient hospital, in addition to the medicinal water and the lovely surroundings, ensure the healing for visitors.

This spa is not only extraordinary for its medicinal water and the large area it occupies, but is also special for the care manifested in the architecture of its facilities; the sculptures and glass mosaics decorating the spa were made by Hungary's leading artists.

The spacious and sunny pool halls bear a touch of the Roman fondness for spas, and the tub bath reflects the signs of the Greek and Scandinavian bath cultures. These are shown in the saunas, baths and steam rooms available at the different departments. The present building of the spa was completed in 1913. The Szecsenyi swimming pool was built in 1927, and following that it was converted to the winter season, it is open to visitors all year long. Also in 1927, a bath department and a complete physiotherapeutical department were added as part of an outpatient hospital.

Museum of Applied Arts
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2005-11-16 15:44:13
The Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest was founded as the third in Europe, following the ones founded in London (1857) and in Vienna. The parliament session of 1872 agreed to provide 50.000 Fts for purchasing items of applied arts in the world exhibition made in Vienna in 1873. These items meant to be the basic collection for the museum to be founded. The growing collection was displayed in the staircase of the National Museum. Later the collection was taken into the building of the old art gallery (69 Sugár Road).

The opportunity to own a home only came about in 1890. At first a site was purchased (Hőgyes Endre Road) for the museum to be built. Later this site was further extended, and the State wrote out a proposal for designing a modern palace suitable for both the museum and a school of applied arts.

Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos won the competition, but the actual commission to begin work was only given to them in 1893. The inauguration of the building took place as the final event of celebrating the millennium, on 25 October 1896.

Right from the building of the palace fierce disputes were manifested, but its importance in the trend of international secession and in the lifework of Lechner is now an undoubted fact. The building is characterised by the oriental ornamentation of early secession. The harmony of function, high artistic standards and unique forms is secured by modern static structures.

The coloured dome adorned with Zsolnay ceramics and the open entrance hall with its wonderful ornaments still make a warm invitation to the visitors. However, these marvellous aesthetic and architectural elements still could not convince the members of the opposing party. That is how the inside paintings (Károly Miksa Reissmann) were drastically limed over by the end of the 1920's (only two rooms survived).

World War II also caused many damages in the building. The open entrance hall and the glass hall, the main dome and the corner dome of Hőgyes utca were partly destroyed. Damages of the war were restored in 1949. The museum has most welcomed its visitors in full pomp ever since.]]>

The Danube River is the second longest river in Europe where it is one of the major methods of transportation. One reason for this is the fact that it is the only major European river to flow west to east. The source of the river is located in the Black Forest area of Germany. From there, it flows about 1,770 miles to the east. The mouth of the river forms a delta on the Romanian coastline of the Black Sea.]]>

The original construction of the bridge between 1897 and 1903 was carried out according to the plans by Aurél Czekelius. Many houses and squares had to be destroyed at the Pest end of the bridge, today's Kossuth Lajos Street was straightened, and the bridge-gate and the two Eclectic "Klotild-Palaces", were also built. The beatiful bridge, the world's longest chain-bridge until 1926, was blown up in 1945 by the retreating German troops. Designed by Pál Sávoly, it was rebuilt as a cable-bridge in 1963.]]>

The Ludwig Museum introducing the art of the past three decades opened officially in June, 1991 in the 'A' building of the Budavár Palace. The material is based on the donations of Peter and Irene Ludwig. The couple gave more than a hundred valuable objects to Hungary. These can be seen at the permanent exhibition of the museum complemented with artworks of Hungarian contemporary artists.

The Ludwigs were among the best-known collectors of the world. The Ludwig collection has over 800 Picassos, which makes the collection of this sort the largest in the world. Of these, three of the most significant paintings were brought to Hungary. Similarly, their Russian classic and avant-garde collection, and the Pop Art collection from the USA is extremely valuable. Among the pop art works, one of Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jasper Johns are displayed in Hungary. The German, Italian, and French trans avant-garde paintings of the 80's are also represented by eminent works. Peter Ludwig was the first collector who brought artworks from the Socialist countries.

It is undoubtedly true that one of the most significant collectors of the world presented the collection to the audience from the very beginning of its existence. The first Ludwig Museum in Eastern Europe opened in Budapest. Peter Ludwig died in the summer of 1996. His wife, Irene Ludwig and the foundation of Aachen, tends the collection.

The history of the contemporary collection began at the time of the foundation of the Ludwig Museum of Budapest. It was also the time of the change of regime in Hungary, 1989. The collection inaugurated on 14, December 1996 was organized of the works of Hungarian artists. The changes in politics also helped the artists formerly ignored gain their worthy position. At the same time, a young generation grew up which uses the international language of art.

The Museum of Contemporary Art aims at collecting and showing the most important results of the contemporary art for a large audience.]]>
