Located in the Palace District, K\u00e1rolyi-Csekonics Palace is one of the most expressive palaces of Budapest. Its history truly reflects events of the period starting from the 1880s, which is the era when Budapest evolved into a metropolis, till today. The site was purchased by Count Istv\u00e1n K\u00e1rolyi, a member of Parliament, whose wife Margit Csekonics inherited it in 1881 and started the construction right away. She commissioned the designs from the Vienna-based Fellner and Hellner, the most successful company in the Monarchy that was specialised in theatre design. Opening from M\u00fazeum Street, the main entrance is backed by a two-storey lounge, private suites, saloons and budoirs that can be opened into one, to make the home of the family. The centrally positioned courtyard is surrounded by wings to contain the staff-rooms, bathrooms, the kitchen and other service rooms. The rear wing overlooking Reviczky Street was a lot simpler, with the facade reaching the height of the ground floor and the mezzanine. Behind this there was the hay loft, a stable, a barn, and store rooms. After several conversions and remodellings, the Faculty of Arts of K\u00e1roli G\u00e1sp\u00e1r Calvinist University moved in here in autumn, 2020.<\/p>\n
