Habsburg Gate
Habsburg-kapu
The ornate Neo-Baroque gate separating the Royal Palace and the Castle Quarter. It was built between 1903 and 1905 according to plans of Alajos Hauszmann. The iron lattice of the gate was made by Gyula Jungfer. It was seriously damaged during the siege of Buda, but it was restored in 1981, together with the broken coat-of-arms of the Kingdom of Hungary on the plinth. On the eastern side of the ornamental gate, overlooking the Danube, a statue of Gyula Donáth depicting the Mythical Turul of the Ancient Hungarians. It is not, as you might think, an eagle, but the mythical turul bird (which is believed to be a kind of falcon). This bird is a part of the story of how the Magyars settled the Hungarian homeland. This bird appeared in a dream to the wife of the Magyar leader and told her that she would be the founding mother of a new nation.
