Royal Stables in the Castle District

3D Model

The recent removal of the scaffolding that covered a formerly dilapidated building around Buda Castle has revealed a long-neglected sight. Renovation of the historic Royal Stables, built during the rule of Habsburg Emperor Franz Josef, has reached the next phase in bringing this Baroque-style landmark back to its former glory. According to press reports, work on this equestrian edifice should be completed by the end of 2019.

The ornate stucco and arched windows have already been unveiled at this semi-concealed site by the western wall of Buda Castle. Designed by Hungarian architect Alajos Hauszmann of New York Café fame, and used as the Royal Stables from the end of the 19th century, the building, along with neighbouring sites around Buda Castle, was seriously damaged during World War II.
