The Hungarian House of Parliament, or Országház, stands majestically on the UNESCO World Heritage–listed banks of the Danube River in Budapest. This predominantly neo-Gothic structure, with its intricate stonework and imposing presence, houses 691 rooms. A select few, including the Domed Hall, are open to the public. Visitors can explore the grand interiors and view the Crown of St. Stephen, a significant historical artifact. The building’s architectural details and historical significance make it a compelling destination for those interested in both history and architecture.
