CEREMONY AND THE GALA DINNER

The Hungarian Parliament is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, a notable landmark

of Hungary, and a popular tourist destination in Budapest. It is situated on Kossuth Square in

the Pest side of the city, on the eastern bank of the Danube. It was designed by Hungarian

architect Imre Steindl in neo-Gothic style and opened in 1902. It has been the largest building

in Hungary since its completion. The architectural style of the Hungarian parliament building

was influenced by the gothic Vienna City Hall, the renaissance elements like the cupola was

influenced by the Maria vom Siege church in Vienna.

PLENARY SESSION

This extraordinary building connects two of the four warehouse buildings with an atrium, and

at the same time extends them parallel to the Danube bank with a glass shell in the shape of

a whale's head.

THE ROYAL PALACE OF GRASSALKOVICH IN

GÖDÖLLŐ – SITE VISIT

9

Count Antal Grassalkovich I (1694–1771), one of the most notable aristocrats of the 18th

century, began construction of the largest Baroque palace in Hungary in around 1735. The

double U-shaped, 8-winged building was flanked by a church, orangery and bath house to the

north, and stables and a riding hall to the south. The unique architecture of the Palace served

as an exemplary model for other Hungarian palaces of the Baroque period.

The second golden age of the building began in 1867. Bought and reconstructed by the

Hungarian state, the Palace was presented as a coronation gift to Emperor Francis Joseph I

(1830–1916) and Queen Elizabeth (1837–1898) for use as a residence. The royal family would

spend the spring and autumn hunting seasons here.

From 1920 onwards the Palace served as a summer retreat for Governor Miklós Horthy. This

period ended with the outbreak of World War II. Although the building itself was left

undamaged, most of the furnishings were carried away or destroyed by the German and

Russian troops invading in 1944.

From 1945 onwards Soviet troops were stationed in the outbuildings, while the main building,

classified as a historic monument, became a home for the elderly. These abuses led to a

gradual decay of the Palace over the following decades.

Conservation work on the Palace began again in 1985. As a result of this, the first permanent

exhibition was opened in 1996: the ceremonial hall and the royal suites. Several new halls

have been added to the exhibition since then. Renovation of the Baroque Theatre was

completed in 2003 and the Pavilion in 2004.

10

2010 saw the Gisela and Rudolph wings (named after the royal children) restored to their

former splendour with EU support, a section of the Park was renovated and reconstruction of

the riding hall and the Baroque stables was completed.

Historical traditions, a variety of cultural events and its wonderfully restored, uniquely

impressive complex and surroundings make the Palace one of the most attractive and exciting

buildings and institutions in Hungary.

VENUE OF THE LUNCH - BOTANIQ CASTLE OF TURA

For more information: CLICK HERE

The baron had purchased the land, located in the town of Tura, Pest County, from the

Esterházy family in 1869, and he had had his visionary castle built there by 1883.

Baron Sigmund may have drawn inspiration from the Halton House castle owned by the

Rothschild family, who were at the top of international financial life, still, the building was long

referred to as the “little brother of the Opera House” among people. This could be explained

by the fact that the interior decorative paintings were made by Róbert Scholtz in both buildings,

moreover, the architect of the castle has been considered to be Miklós Ybl until recently. An

11

article which was published in the Sunday Gazette in 1885 however says, that the architect of

the castle was in fact Gyula Bukovics, the talented student of Ybl.

All the architectural achievements of the time can be discovered in the castle. Beside the up-

to-date central heating system, there was electricity and a dumbwaiter, as well. There was a

bathroom on every floor, with fresh water coming from an artesian well. It was achieved with

the help of fanlight windows found on the upper floor and mirrors placed with fine engineering

that the spectacular entrance hall on the ground floor could get natural light even without

windows.

The high-quality construction was of primary importance in the case of the interior of the

building as well as outside the building, considering that the plants in the spectacular park of

the castle were watered with a rainwater irrigation system partly. The gardeners created a park

in the immediate surroundings of the castle in European style, which was typical of the period.

Farther away the landscape characteristics were highlighted. Part of the original park was

separated from the castle in the middle of the last century, and a football field was built on it.

SITE VISIT - BUDA CASTLE, ST. STEVEN HALL

St Stephen’s Hall was placed in the new south range of the palace, and was a true jewel box.

It interior had a Romanesque design, but at certain points accommodated some Hungarian

ornament and Hungarian character. Hauszmann gathered the finest craftsmen in the country

to produce a masterpiece of turn-of-the-century Hungarian applied art. Among those who

worked on the furniture, fittings and decoration were Endre Thék, Alajos Strobl and Gyula

12

Jungfer, and the central element of the room, the monumental pyrogranite fireplace, was made

in the factory of Vilmos Zsolnay.

The assemblage of masterpieces was much appreciated by the monarch, Franz Joseph, who

ordered that the interior be displayed at the 1900 Paris World’s Fair. The installation in the

French capital city gained enormous public and critical acclaim, and won several prizes,

including the Grand Prix. The public was also permitted to view the ornate hall in the Palace

of Buda Castle when it was completed in 1902.

The buildings of the palace suffered extensive damaging from the bombing and the several-

week-long fire in the Second World War. St Stephen’s Hall was completely burned out, and all

its furnishings destroyed. It was not restored after the war, and was mostly used as a store.

Under the National Hauszmann Program, St Stephen’s Hall is being authentically recreated.

Its internal layout, materials, decoration and furnishings all follow Hauszmann’s original plans.

Design has been assisted by surviving plans, sketches and photographs, and the fittings and

furniture are being made in about twenty workshops throughout the country by craftspeople

who are using original materials to produce the ornate furnishings with the highest level of

accuracy.

The work of today’s artists and craftspeople are worthy of the words by which Hauszmann,

one hundred years ago, characterised the products of his associates:

I must pay tribute to the fine artists and artisans who took part in producing this work, which in

its material and the quality of execution will I believe be widely recognised abroad.

After 20 August 2021, visitors to the recreated St Stephen’s Hall may appreciate for themselves

the marvellous work of these artists.

VENUE OF THE NIGHT OF HANGZHOU GALA

DINNER - SHIP EUROPA

The incomparable Europe Ship may carry 1000 passengers. This marvellous, 3-storey vessel

with its renewed art-deco interior fulfills all the expectations of our modern world.

The elegant and stylish basic mood of the Europe event-ship is coming from the harmony of

the different colours which have been used. The light-coloured floor and modern paneling

provide an exclusive, welcoming atmosphere to our guests. Everybody can have a great time

on the Europe event-ship with its total shipboard of more than 1500 square metres. Its indoor

area is 920 square metres and its outdoor part is 2 x 320 square metres to admire the

breathtaking view of the Danube river and the embankment.

It’s an unforgettable experience to take a look to Budapest from our deck and praise its beauty,

for You are not able to do that from any other part of the capital city.
