Tabán - Golden Stag

(Local Name: Arany Szarvas) This famous old inn near the steps leading up to Castle Palace, was built in the 19th C in the "pigtail" style. This style of building, which was so popular in Hungary and represents a transition from Baroque to classical, was so named after the pigtail-like plaited garlands forming part of the decorative motifs which were frequently incorporated in the design.
