Zichy Palace
A late-18th-century palace in the Old Town with two galleries, a music salon and a courtyard, used for exhibitions, concerts and weddings.
Why visit
Zichy Palace is a Baroque-classicist palace with Louis XVI details, built in the 1770s and named after the Zichy family. It stands on one of the Old Town’s busiest streets.
A reconstruction in the 1980s turned it into a cultural centre, now run by the Old Town’s culture centre. It hosts exhibitions, chamber concerts and civil ceremonies.
What to see
- Zichy Gallery: the Old Town gallery on the ground floor, with changing exhibitions
- First-floor gallery: a larger exhibition space upstairs
- Music salon: a small hall for concerts, lectures and social events
- Ceremonial hall: used for civil weddings and other official ceremonies
- The courtyard: an enclosed courtyard used for summer events
Plan your visit
The galleries are open to visitors in the afternoons; concerts and events have their own programme and tickets.
