Attila út 87: Count Domonkos Teleki’s home in Budapest

February 25, 2024

This building was designed by architect Károly Möller and constructed in 1929 for Count Domokos Teleki. Situated on Attila út in Budapest’s 1st district, it holds historical significance.

The Teleki family, belonging to the highest aristocracy in Transylvania and Hungary, had their main residence in the castle of Gernyeszeg (now Gorneşti in Romania). Unfortunately, the castle was confiscated by the Romanian communist regime. However, following the fall of communism, the Romanian Government returned the castle to the Teleki family.

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.
