Andrássy út 56

The Haggenmacher Palace at Andrássy út 52 in Budapest's Terézváros district is a listed building constructed between 1884 and 1886 in the Neo-Renaissance style. The industrialist Henrik Haggenmacher commissioned the architect Henrik Schmahl to build the imposing mansion, which stands northeast of Oktogon at the corner of Eötvös utca. The fully renovated palace now houses the Hotel Oktogon, whose design draws on the building's historic appearance and makes a visually striking impression. Since 1934, the building has also been home to a branch of the municipal Ervin Szabó Library, which shares the premises with the hotel rooms and former rental apartments.
