Vajdahunyad Castle

City Park

It was built in wood and cardboard for the 1896 Millennium Exhibition and proved so popular that Ignác Alpár rebuilt it in stone in the early 20th century. It mixes copies of buildings from all over historic Hungary, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque, with Hunyad Castle in present-day Romania as the main model.

Inside is the Hungarian Museum of Agriculture. In the courtyard, look for the statue of Anonymus, the nameless medieval chronicler, his face hidden by his hood; tradition says touching his pen brings luck.
