Sigismund, as a <a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Holy Roman Emperor">Holy Roman Emperor</a>, needed a magnificent royal residence to express his prominence among the rulers of Europe.

The palace was first mentioned in 1437, under the name "<i>fricz palotha</i>". </p><p>The most important part of Sigismund's palace was the northern wing, known as the Fresh Palace (Hun: <i>Friss-palota</i>). On the top floor was a large hall called the Roman Hall (70 × 20 m or 230 × 66 ft) with a carved wooden ceiling. Great windows and balconies faced toward the city of Buda.

The basement of the tower was used as a <a href="/wiki/Dungeon" title="Dungeon">dungeon</a>; the top floors were probably the treasury of the royal jewels. </p><p>The last phase of large-scale building activity took place under King Matthias Corvinus. During the first decades of his reign the king finished the work on the Gothic palace. The Royal Chapel, with the surviving <a href="/wiki/Palace_Chapel_(Buda_Castle)" title="Palace Chapel (Buda Castle)">Lower Church</a>, was likely built at that time. </p><p>After the marriage of Matthias and <a href="/wiki/Beatrice_of_Naples" title="Beatrice of Naples">Beatrice of Naples</a> in 1476, Italian <a href="/wiki/Humanists" class="mw-redirect" title="Humanists">humanists</a>, artists and craftsmen arrived at Buda.

Ambitious <a href="/wiki/Urban_planning" title="Urban planning">urban planning</a> projects were carried out to express the growing wealth and higher status of the Hungarian capital, with special attention being paid to the rebuilding of Buda Castle.

The rebuilding spanned forty years, between 1875 and 1912, and caused sweeping changes in topography of the entire area. </p><p>First the Várkert-bazár (Royal Garden Pavilion) was built on the embankment of the Danube, at the foot of the Castle Hill, between 1875 and 1882.

Ybl also built a new waterworks pumping station, named Várkert-kioszk (Royal Garden Kiosk), and two stair towers against the medieval cortina walls. The southern stair tower followed French Renaissance style, resembling a small turreted castle, while the northern stair tower was similar to a Gothic brick donjon (a fortified main tower from a castle, also called a keep).

In his 1885 plan, Ybl preserved the old Baroque palace, but mirrored it on the western side of the <i>cour d'honneur</i>, which doubled the size of the residence. He also planned a new <a href="/wiki/Carriageway" title="Carriageway">carriageway</a> on the western hillside, demolishing the medieval walls and towers of the Újvilág-kert terrace. The narrowness of the natural plateau of the Castle Hill meant there was not enough space for the new Krisztinaváros wing, which Ybl solved by erecting a substructure down to the foot of the hill. The monumental western façade sits on this windowless, three-storey high substructure. The whole block covered almost the entire hill, but the main façade on the <i>cour d'honneur</i> had the same modest height as the Baroque palace. The façade was clad with stone slabs, while the old parts are stuccoed; hence, the difference between the original Baroque and the Neo-Renaissance wings is obvious.

His successor, <a href="/wiki/Alajos_Hauszmann" title="Alajos Hauszmann">Alajos Hauszmann</a>, slightly modified the plans of the Krisztinaváros wing. In 1896 the building reached the level of the court, and King Franz Joseph ceremoniously laid down the foundation stone of the palace, which was soon completed. </p><p>In 1893, the 25th anniversary of King Franz Joseph's coronation was celebrated in the Royal Palace. However, the old banqueting hall proved to be too small, so Hauszmann enlarged the room by knocking down and reconstructing the wall towards the <i>cour d'honneur</i> (which additionally had the Hillebrandt façade). </p><p>In spite of this expansion and Ybl's new wing, the palace was still deemed insufficient for great royal celebrations, so another round of construction began. The north wing, standing on the site of the old Zeughaus, was completely designed by Hauszmann. The architect doubled the Baroque palace on the Danube side, generally imitating its traditional architectural style. At the meeting point of the old and the new wings, a colonnaded portico was erected, with a lavishly-decorated <a href="/wiki/Tympanum_(architecture)" title="Tympanum (architecture)">tympanum</a> (with allegorical statues by Károly Sennyey) and a flight of stairs called the <i>Habsburg Stairs</i>. The whole palace was crowned with a dome with a copy of the <a href="/wiki/Crown_of_St._Stephen" class="mw-redirect" title="Crown of St. Stephen">Crown of St. Stephen</a> at its apex. The dome, like other details of the north wing, shows German <i><a href="/wiki/Jugendstil" title="Jugendstil">Jugendstil</a></i> influences, as does the rear façade towards the western forecourt.

Above the main gate, towards Szent György tér, stood a statue of the Goddess Hungaria. This side was the main façade of the complex, but it was much shorter and less characteristic than the long Danube façade.

The Royal Gardens on the southern hillside were famous for their precious plants, glass houses and picturesque terraces. In the middle of the gardens stood the Swiss House of Queen <a href="/wiki/Empress_Elisabeth_of_Austria" title="Empress Elisabeth of Austria">Elisabeth</a>, furnished with Hungarian folk art objects. The house was built above the ruins of the medieval gatehouse, partially making use of them. </p><p>The interior of the palace was decorated and furnished exclusively with works of the leading Hungarian artists of the age.

Important elements like the 16th century Great Rondella and the medieval Gatehouse, the Mace Tower, the walls and the zwingers were reconstructed according to the results of the archaeological research and contemporary pictorial evidence. The low-lying southern wing of the Gothic palace was also reconstructed, together with the vaulted Gothic Hall and the Lower Church of the former Royal Chapel.

Only the ground and first floors were reconstructed; the castle was originally much higher. The unfinished façade stops at the level of the Baroque terrace above, with two windows opening towards the southern court and another two opening towards the eastern court. The four almost-identical windows are square, four-panel stone constructions of very fine Gothic craftsmanship, with their outer frames decorated with small columns. One window, which had been walled up, was discovered <i>in situ</i> during archeological research, and the others were reconstructed from fragments by the sculptor Ernő Szakál by means of <a href="/wiki/Anastylosis" title="Anastylosis">anastylosis</a>. The ground floor openings are simpler. An arched stone doorway gives access to the southern court from the cellar under the Gothic Hall. </p><p>The façade was originally plastered.

Fragments of painted geometrical decoration, a common feature on the medieval buildings of Buda, were discovered on the eastern façade, but it was not restored. </p><p>A Gothic balcony tower projects from the wall at the end of the eastern façade. Its reconstruction was a much debated issue, because the balcony tower goes above the level of the Baroque terrace, disturbing the harmonious panorama of the palace. On the other hand, it clearly indicates that there are higher, missing floors. </p><p>The balcony tower is a two-storey structure standing on a wide stone basement. The first floor is a solid stone wall without any openings and the niche behind it belongs to the Gothic Hall. The second floor has a balcony with three windows; it is now closed off by a glass wall. Originally it would have been part of an important ceremonial room. The balcony is in the shape of half an octagon. The three Gothic double lancet windows are considered the most important architectural elements of the tower and the profiles; frames and mullions were restored in a simplified form, using many of the original stones.

However, it was destroyed by an explosion in 1686. The ground floor walls were discovered a little time after 1946.

The walls are 2.31 to 2.7 m thick with narrow <a href="/wiki/Arrowslit" title="Arrowslit">arrowslits</a> on the southern, western and northern sides. The original doorway, on the eastern side, was walled up after the Gothic Hall was built in the 15th century. </p><p>Stephen's Tower was originally a free-standing structure, sited differently from later buildings. The triangle in front of it was walled up to create a continuous southern façade for the palace. During post-war reconstruction, this part of the façade (with a broken stone doorway) was not reconstructed. A vaulted room (6.2 × 6.3 m) on the ground floor was still intact in 1820, according to a contemporary drawing.

Construction was finished in 1768 and the church was consecrated in 1769. The ground plan was drawn by Nicolò Pacassi, with the interior was designed by his follower, Franz Anton Hillebrandt. The ground plan followed a typical "violin" form favoured in the Baroque church architecture of Central Europe at that time. It had a rectangular chancel and a nave with four bays for side altars. On the first and the second floors two oratories opened into the chancel and a two-storey high gallery was situated above the entrance. In 1777–78 a new door was opened in the first side bay to give access to the new chapel of the Holy Right. An engraving from 1771 to 1780 shows the original interior design in its completed form: double pilasters, windows with segmental arches, stucco and false marble decoration, double oratory windows and a doorway with a stucco veil drawn aside by flying <a href="/wiki/Putto" title="Putto">putti</a>. The church was slightly rebuilt by Hauszmann, who demolished the Chapel of the Holy Right in 1899 and built a new chapel for the relic behind the chancel (converting a small recess). This chapel was decorated with the golden Venetian mosaics of <a href="/wiki/K%C3%A1roly_Lotz" title="Károly Lotz">Károly Lotz</a>.

Seventeen years later, the Palatine's 13-year-old son Alexander Leopold followed. Palatine Joseph decided to convert the crypt into a family mausoleum and commissioned Franz Hüppmann with the task. The work was finished in 1838, and other members of the Palatine's family were reburied here. Palatine Joseph himself was interred on 13 January 1847. The crypt was continuously used by the Hungarian branch of the Habsburg family. It was repeatedly restored and enriched with new works of art, frescoes, statues and ornate stone sarcophagi, made by renowned artists of the 19th century. The last member of the family buried there was Archduchess <a href="/wiki/Princess_Clotilde_of_Saxe-Coburg_and_Gotha" title="Princess Clotilde of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha">Clotilde</a> in 1927. The crypt survived the war unscathed and was spared during the post-war reconstruction. </p><p>The crypt was looted in 1966 and 1973 (during the construction works), when some corpses were thrown out of the sarcophagi by the thieves. The human remains were later identified and reburied. The crypt was restored in 1985–1987.
