About About the place

The National Archives of Hungary, situated on Bécsi Kapu square in the Castle District, serves as the central repository for Hungary’s historical documents. The building itself is a notable landmark, constructed in a romantic, historical style and distinguished by its roof of vibrantly colored tiles crafted at the Zsolnay factory in Pécs. The archives hold a vast collection, including governmental records, city and departmental archives, and microfilms of parish registries, making it a crucial resource for genealogical and historical research. While the exterior is consistently admired, access to the interior can be variable.
