Sándor Palace is located on St. George Square in Budapest’s Buda Castle District. It originally served as the home of the Sándor family: the plot housing the building was acquired by Count Vince Sándor in 1803. The building was constructed in the classical style based on the designs of Mihály Pollack and Aman Johann sometime between 1803 and 1806: the date of 1806 (MDCCCVI) visible on the façade is the year of completion. In 1867, at the behest of Prime Minister Gyula Andrássy, the Hungarian State first rented it and then purchased it in 1881 for use as a government residence. With a few short interruptions, it served as the residence of the respective Hungarian Prime Minister from 1867 until 1945. It was almost completely destroyed in World War II, and for a long time was used as a museum warehouse. Works to restore the exterior were performed in 1989 and 1990, with a complete restoration following in 2000-2002 based on the description, notes, and drawings found in the Pallavicini family archives. The interior layout is the same as it was in 1806 and the furniture reflects the state of the building between the two world wars. It has been used as the residence of the President of the Republic of Hungary since 2003 and also serves as the Office of the President of the Republic.
