Hungarian Parliament

The Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest is one of the country's most iconic landmarks and a major tourist attraction. Designed by architect Imre Steindl and built between 1885 and 1904, it proudly stands on the banks of the Danube River, the second longest river in Europe. Sadly, Steindl lost his sight before the building was completed and never saw his masterpiece finished.

Its construction required 40 million bricks, half a million precious stones, and 40 kilograms of gold. Inside, it houses Hungary’s most treasured national symbols: the Crown Jewels, which have been stolen and recovered multiple times throughout history.

In this activity, students will model the Parliament Building to scale. The structure measures 268 meters wide, 123 meters long, and 96 meters high. At the top, the central dome rises flanked by two symmetrical wings, creating one of the most impressive architectural compositions in Europe.
