Hungary’s Parliament on the Danube River
The Parliament’s structure located in Budapest, Hungary was built in replica of the Neo-Gothic style seen in Vienna. The design was created by a man with the name of Imre Steindl, and he worked off of the Parliament House of London. There are very few buildings, including churches and a few mansions that are built in this style located in Hungary.
This monumental building was originally made to write Hungary’s constitution and regain its independence. A dual monarchy was formed and the Parliament House was built on the banks of the Danube River.
This Parliament building is one of the showiest of the world’s assembly halls. In it’s time it was also the largest in the world. Inside, it consists of six hundred and ninety-one rooms, a twenty kilometer staircase, and is sixty-nine meters in height. It has inspired many buildings all across the globe with its fancy architecture and interior decorating, including the Buda Castle on the opposite side of the Danube River. Today, it is housed by the Communist congress, which makes it look a little less appealing as it had in 1904 when it was first erected, but its gorgeous style is still experienced by many.
