Remains of Archduke Joseph's Palace
Being there
Built between 1787–1789 and was significantly remodeled in 1902. The classicist Teleki Palace, completed in 1789, became the property of Archduke Joseph Karl in 1892, who transformed it in Historicizing style. It was badly damaged during the siege of Buda in 1945, demolished in 1968, and replaced by a medieval ruin field and a museum below ground level in the 1980s.
The story
Archduke Joseph's Palace (Hungarian: József főhercegi palota) is a former royal residence located on Castle Hill (Várhegy) in Budapest, Hungary. It was located next to Buda Castle. Currently, it is being reconstructed as part of a revival programme of the Buda castle hill.
The site was occupied before by the Teleki Palace. The building was the property of Archduke Joseph Karl of Austria, second son of Archduke Joseph of Austria (Palatine of Hungary).
