It is the largest funeral structure in Hungary, so there can be little doubt that the structure hides Hungary's most valuable dead. It occurred to me that it is like Napoleon's tomb in the case of France. The snarling lions (or rather panthers) next to the stairs leave little doubt: they will tear apart whoever dares to hurt the greatness sleeping its eternal dream. On April 1, 1894, the largest and most significant funeral in Hungary of all time took place. Lajos Kossuth was laid to rest in a temporary plot, about 70 meters to the left of his current mausoleum, along the road leading to the Deák mausoleum. Since Ferenc József prohibited state mourning, most people could attend the ceremony as private individuals. The funeral was organized by the capital, and Kossuth was buried as an official honorary citizen of Budapest. A tender for the design and construction of the mausoleum was announced on January 31, 1901. The winner was Kálmán Gerster, who built the mausoleum in an eclectic style between 1903-1909. The statues - the genius defeating the lion, the crowned female figure, the lions by the entrance - were modeled by Alajos Stróbl. Lajos Kossuth's ornate sarcophagus stands in the center of the domed interior, and his family members, including two politicians' sons, rest in niches on either side. The mosaic covering the dome was made by Miksa Róth based on Dezső Kölber's cardboard.

According to the Kossuth cult, this is the highest mausoleum in the cemetery. The canopied stone sarcophagus between the Doric columns is symbolic, Kossuth rests in the crypt. It is also worth going into the crypt, you can enter it on the occasion of important holidays or on thematic walks organized by the cemetery.

Just take a stroll in the area... It’s raining dandelion seeds in mid April in the area.. It’s so peaceful and beautiful... Walking down the paths, Enjoying the views of gorgeous sculptures and architecture, Birds singing, feeing inner peace..

The wonderful Sírkert is worth a longer walk. The Deák and Kossuth Mausoleum can rarely be visited individually, on the Day of the Dead, March 15, heritage protection day, world guide day.

We visited it as part of a free walk organized by the Sírkert. The high standard of management and the excellent condition of the Cemetery were both beyond expectations. Great experience, highly recommended category.

An impressive work, which, thanks to the renovation, has probably not been in such a wonderful condition since its construction. The fact that on the occasion of our visit we did not find a single flower or wreath here is a good indication of today's social state of mind, whereas nostalgic people bring carnations and wreaths to the grave of János Kádár on a daily basis.

Very nice.

Visited the cemetery in the morning before leaving, it was definitely worth it.

Very pretty, the mosaics take us back in time

How discreet!

I've never been here before, it's a very peaceful and beautiful place.

Excellent

Amazing, monumentally grave.

(Translated by Google) Monumental artwork. Worthy of great statesman status. It is probably the most popular and well-known Hungarian to this day. I mean at home. How different would world history have been if we and the Italians and the Germans could have separated from the empire ... (Original) Monumentális alkotás. Méltó a nagy államférfi státuszhoz. A máig talán legnépszerűbb, legismertebb magyar. Mármint itthon. Milyen más lett volna a világtörténelem, ha az olaszok és a németek mellett mi is le tudtunk volna válni a birodalomról...
