Restoration of the Castle Bazaar from funds available under the New Széchenyi Plan

“For long decades the Castle Bazaar was the ornament of the Castle District along the River Danube. Today it is merely an ugly blot on the historical cityscape”, said the minister’s commissioner Ferenc Zumbok on 15 November 2011 in the Buda Castle mentioning the restoration work of the Castle Bazaar and the Castle District.

In the ministerial commissioner’s opinion after the public procurement procedures the restoration of the Castle Bazaar may start next autumn. The final and binding building permits and implementation plans have been obtained for the northern pavilion and the Water Carriers’ Stairway. The HUF 6.5 billion required for the works are available from funds granted by the European Union.
