Forget the shop windows and the first floor, and look up! This is a fairy castle in the downtown of Budapest that was built in the beginning of the 20th century. The designer, Ernő Schannen himself was a versatile personality. In addition to architecture, literature was also interested. In addition to writing, he turned to Schiller and wrote a comedy.

The whole building on Károly körút 14:

The beauty of the building is less effective in fast-paced weekdays, because its exciting sight is far above the eye. Its lower levels are home to business premises. The central axis of the eclectic facade features three enclosed balconies featuring semicircular twin windows with triangular balconies with a protruding top. The levels are separated by a stone-bridged pattern. The top of the building is crowned with pointed, cast-iron towers.

Details:

The meticulous stone carvings are embroidered with glass-mosaic shimmering glass on the top floor. The Miksa Róth mosaics represent the allegorical female figures of the four seasons. Spring is in a light blue dress surrounded by flowers, in the golden skirt of Summer with a sunshade, in the hands of the Autumn with grape clusters, while Winter is wrapped in a beautiful, dark blue coat.
