The day before we visited the Parliament of Hungary, my mother had told me that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is on the other side of the Kossuth square (where the Parliament can be found). I was very happy to learn this, because I could take some photos of this imposing building.
The building was built in eclectic style and was planned by Gyula Bukovics in 1885-86. Earlier it was also the home of the Ministry of Justice.
