An Abandoned Beauty in the Heart of Budapest : Múzeum körút 19

Hidden courtyard at Múzeum körút 19, in the 5th district of Budapest. This partially abandoned house was designed by Miklós Ybl for Zsigmond Róth, the owner of a stained glass workshop. Zsigmond was the father of Miksa Róth, the most famous Hungarian stained glass and mosaic artist. In 2016, a temporary exhibition was organized here, and many articles were published about this house (unfortunately, I was not living in Hungary at that time).

I have launched Buildings Tell Tales in 2019, and since then visited and photographed over 1000 old buildings in Budapest. My goal is not only to take photos but to uncover the interesting stories hidden behind the old walls. By linking the stories of ordinary people such as workers, students, merchants, and domestic workers to specific places, I want to make the past tangible. Old buildings should be preserved not only for their aesthetic value but also for the memories they hold and the stories they tell. If you’re interested in learning more about me, you can read additional details on this page.
