City Park of Budapest
The park was built in 1896 to celebrate the 1000 years since the Hungarian Conquest of the Carpathian Basin in 895. The Vajdahunyad Castle was originally built of cardboard and wood to represent buildings found during different time periods in Hungary, in several different styles; Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. The castle became so popular they had to rebuild it out of brick and stone in 1904.
