St. Stephen’s Hall – Fit for a King

Created in honour of Hungary’s first Christian king, the hall showcases the finest Hungarian artisans of the turn of the 20th century—now restored to its original splendour by the National Hauszmann Program. A true visitor hub: information desk, gift shop, lockers, restrooms and value combo tickets. Did you know? St. Stephen’s son, Prince Emeric (1007–1031), died from a boar’s wound while hunting; he was later canonised—you can spot him on the wall.

Trivia

The monumental fireplace was made by Alajos Stróbl together with the famed Zsolnay porcelain manufactory.

Tip

Don’t miss the ground-floor St. Stephen Café, where pastries and speciality coffees evoke the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
