How did a statue of George Washington come to stand in Budapest? On December 4, 1851, Lajos Kossuth – perhaps the most famous Hungarian politician – landed in the harbor of New York City. More than 200,000 people awaited for the arrival of the one dubbed the “Great Hungarian.” The New York Times wrote that no similar event in national history could compare to his visit. After his arrival, Kossuth stayed in the U.S. for seven months to gain political and diplomatic influence for his motherland. So successful were his efforts that newspapers compared him to great patriots like Lafayette and Washington...

(Translated by Google) Castle .... is really charming in its beauty especially at night when you turn on the lights (Original) טירת ....היא ממש מקסימה ביופיה בעיקר בלילה כשמדליקים את האורות

A beautiful sculpture depicting the image of the first president of the United States, George Washington.

(Translated by Google) The antecedent of the Washington statue is that the Hungarians who emigrated to America erected a Kossuth statue in Cleveland in 1902, and then started a movement to have a statue of Washington in Budapest. The full-scale representation is due to this initiative. The classic bronze statue made by Gyula Bezerédi was inaugurated on September 16, 1906. (Original) A Washington-szobor előzményéhez az tartozik, hogy az Amerikába kivándorolt magyarok 1902-ben Clevelandben Kossuth-szobrot állítottak, majd mozgalmat indítottak, hogy Washingtonnak is legyen szobra Budapesten. Az egészalakos ábrázolás ennek a kezdeményezésnek köszönhető. A Bezerédi Gyula által készített klasszikus bronz szobrot 1906. szeptember 16-án avatták fel.

I love Hungary, and this is a great Hungarian property to make a sculpture. We admire all people who do something for humanity. For us it's not a problem if you admire people, Hungarians try to find them in Africa or South America...😁😁😁(Humor, in human character most important in life ;-).

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place (Original) Gyönyörű hely

(Translated by Google) I loved it, I understood that it is a replica of the Transylvanian Castle (Dracula) ... go ahead because it has a lot of detail and an environment that deserves the tour; chapel, lake, flea market, sculptures and many Chinese. #castle #architecture (Original) Me encanto, entendí que es réplica del Castillo de Transilvania (Drácula)... ir con tiempo porque tiene mucho detalle y un entorno que merece el recorrido; capilla, lago, mercadillo, esculturas y muchos chinos. #castillo #arquitectura

(Translated by Google) Bronze statue dedicated to the American President and founding father of the USA George Washington. Personally I perceived it as anonymous and totally devoid of a noteworthy artistic value, it almost disappears in the eyes of the park's patrons, instead kidnapped by the beauty of the city park itself. @ gargio76 (Original) Statua bronzea dedicata al Presidente americano e padre fondatore degli USA George Washington. Personalmente l'ho percepita come anonima e priva totalmente di una valenza artistica degna di nota, quasi scompare agli occhi degli avventori del parco, rapiti, invece dalla bellezza del parco cittadino stesso. @gargio76

(Translated by Google) We went there along the road from the Szechenyi baths and walked around the neighborhood. This is a copy of the Transselvanian castle. The building is relatively young, although you cannot tell from it. There is an agricultural museum inside, but it is not very interesting, all the most beautiful can be seen from the outside and for free !!! Very cool👌 (Original) Заходили туда по дороге из купален Сечени и прогулялись по окрестности. Это копия трансельванского замка.Постройка относительно молодая, хотя по ней и не скажешь. Внутри - сельскохозяйственный музей, но он не очень интересен, все самое красивое можно посмотреть с наружи и бесплатно!!! Очень круто👌

George Washington is one of three U.S. Presidents represented here in Budapest, the others being Bush Sr and Ronald Regan. From the late 1880s onwards, thousands of Hungarians have travelled to the US searching for a better life and it was decided that a statue honoring the father of democracy would be erected in Budapest and funded by donations. This statue was unveiled in 1906 in the City Park and the costs of creating and erecting the statue was covered entirely through public donations. Worth a visit, especially knowing the backstory and significances.

(Translated by Google) This statue is good. (Original) Jó ez a szobor.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place in Budapest. This castle combines Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance. The beautiful building of the palace itself. You can take a walk in the park Also not far from the Castle is the wonderful huge zoo of Budapest and the Széchenyi Baths. (Original) Красивое место Будапешта. В этом замке соединены и барокко, и готика, и ренессанс. Красивое здание самого дворца. Можно погулять по парку Также недалеко от Замка расположен замечательный огромный зоопарк Будапешта и купальни Сечени.

Built in 1904 as a symbol of cooperation and friendship.   Stands proudly in in the grounds of the City Park.

The Hungarian of American! I don't know what it means! Washington was Hungarian？？

(Translated by Google) Here you can actually see the statue of the first president of the United States (Original) 在这里居然能看到美国第一任总统的雕像

It is sometimes known as the most romantic location in Budapest. It has a lovely pond next to it which is converted into an ice rink in winter. It is next to the Central Park of Budapest and offers some breathtaking views. It is conveniently located next to the heroes square and is an architectural marvel. The castle is known to be used for exhibitions or concerns from time to time. It has museum and a souvenir shop inside it. I recommend for setting this place in the late afternoon so that you can enjoy the castle and relax on one of its benches to enjoy the sunset.

(Translated by Google) This pretty little statue is a bronze sculpture made in 1906 by the famous and prolific Hungarian artist Gyula Bezerédi (1858-1925). It was financed by Hungarian emigrants at the beginning of the twentieth century. The most famous Hungarian emigrated to the US (December 4, 1851 to be precise), is without doubt Lajos Kossuth, an influential politician. The work is in the park, behind the castle of Vajdahunyad. To see if you make a tour in this quiet corner of BUDAPEST. (Original) Cette jolie petite statue, est une sculpture en bronze réalisée en 1906 par le célèbre et prolifique artiste hongrois Gyula Bezerédi (1858-1925) . Elle a été financée par des émigrés hongrois au début du vingtième siècle. Le plus célèbre hongrois émigré aux USA (le 04 décembre 1851 pour être précis), est sans doute Lajos Kossuth, un influent homme politique. L'oeuvre se trouve dans le parc, à l'arrière du château de Vajdahunyad. A voir si vous faites un tour dans ce coin calme de BUDAPEST.

An odd but beautiful building with a wonderfully dated and musty museum inside. Get the combined ticket with the tower tour. It’s well worth it for the views.

An interesting monument from 1906.

What you see is what you get. It's a statue of George Washington.

(Translated by Google) Very nice. (Original) Nagyon szép.

The meaning of George Washington standing there as a statue remained hidden to us, but it was a beautiful place in a park with many attractions.

(Translated by Google) Incredibly atmospheric place. The castle looks straight out of a fairy tale, situated in a beautiful park, surrounded by a lake.

(Original) Niesamowicie klimatyczne miejsce. Zamek wygląda jak wyciągnięty prosto z bajki, położony w pięknym parku, otoczony jeziorkiem. Idealne miejsce na chwilę odpoczynku zwłaszcza w ciepłe dni.

Amazing statue

Made my trip to Hungary worth it. God bless America.

Interesting statue of George Washington.

Nice statue, very random location right in front of Fujimoto’s House of Music.

Especial para sacar fotos. Estas no son muy buenas, el tiempo estaba feo. Muy cerca de los famosos baños calientes. En pleno invierno con nieve había bastante gente.

A powerful statue of a powerful man and country

There is some construction going on on the front of the statue and some " homeless project " on the right which makes the area around the park somehow uncomfortable..

George Washington was probably the best president the United States has known. On the other hand, this country currently has the worst president it has ever known!

Amazing place to visit in Budapest. Very beautiful, we enjoyed our walk and took many amazing photos. The park and the castle are big and the architecture very detailed and impressive. Do not hesitate to have a visit here! I highly recommend it.

Beautiful Hungarian castle in the Central Park of BP. Sometimes I just walk around it to breath some fresh air and hang out.

Beautifully lit in the evening. Making spirits bright! Unfortunately ice rink cannot open.

A very nice castle center of the city.

Considering how Budapest looks like to a South-Western European gaze, this could easily be the most beautiful place in town. Entering from the west side — which is inevitable if you come from the central districts of the city — you'll be welcomed by a fantastic view of the castle and the bridge leading to it. Once inside, I'd recommend to get a combined ticket with reduced fares it costs around 1,300 HUF — which is not bad for what it offers. A visit to the agricultural museum can be boring if you're not in to this sort of exhibits, but the view from the apostle tower is worth it

Now is closed to public. original castle in romania, this copy. Nice atmosphere, green around everywhere.

Very authentic Bohemian-style castle in the centre of Budapest. Located in the heart of the large City Park, it is easily accessable by public (metro), or on foot via Andrássy Avenue and Heroes Square. Both during the day time and night time it’s a beautiful and romantic sight. Don’t forget to continue your walk towards the Széchenyi bath, which is only 2 minutes walking further.
