Palais Lánchíd

The Lánchíd Palace is an iconic Neo-Renaissance building at the foot of the Chain Bridge in Budapest, right next to the so-called Zero Kilometer Stone. Designed by Miklós Ybl and built in 1867, the building originally served the Chain Bridge Association and later housed various government institutions, including courts and the Ministry of Justice. After a long period of vacancy and several changes of ownership, the palace was restored to its original style in 2008. Today it serves as the headquarters of the International Investment Bank and, as one of the few surviving original buildings on the square, shapes the historic cityscape.
