Designed by the same man who designed and started to oversee the building of the Parliament building - it was originally built as a cardboard, wood and cloth castle as a frame as a backdrop for the Millenium Exhibition of 1896 but was so popular, it was rebuilt in stone and has become the backdrop for an ice-skating rink in the winter and a funfair at various times in the summer
The castle makes up part of the fabulous architectural background of the City Park including the Szechenyi baths and Budapest Zoo with its art nouveau animal houses - all of which is accessed through Heroes Square
