Palais Krausz

The landmark-protected Krausz Palace on Andrássy út in Budapest is considered one of the most beautiful buildings on this grand boulevard and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site. It was built between 1885 and 1886 to designs by Zsigmond Quittner for the politician Lajos Krausz, with famous Hungarian artists such as Károly Lotz decorating the interiors. Historically, the building housed renowned cafés where literary figures gathered. After a period as a dilapidated police headquarters, the palace has been undergoing a thorough renovation since 2021 and is slated to serve as an office building in the future. You can admire the architectural significance of the building near the State Opera House.
