Veszprém - Bishop's Palace

At the point where the narrow Vár utca opens out into a square the Bishops' Palace (1765/76) stands on the site of the medieval queens' palace, designed by the prolific architect Jakob Fellner. In keeping with the design of Baroque palaces it is U-shaped with two side wings embracing a courtyard with a drive leading up to the entrance gate. The façade facing the valley has a protruding central ressaut and loggia on the ground floor which give it the appearance of being the front face.
