The main building of the Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library is the one-time Wenckheim Palace. It was built by Count Frigyes Wenckheim, a well-known Hungarian aristocrat of the late 19th century. On our guided tour participants can hear the story of the Wenckheim family and learn about the building, a masterpiece of the Hungarian Neo-Baroque palace architecture while also visiting some areas that are usually closed to the public.
