Reök Palace
Reök-palota
A 1907 Art Nouveau mansion whose wave-shaped façade is decorated with water-plant motifs, the most photogenic building in Szeged.
Reök Palace was designed by Emil Márkus in 1907 and is a masterpiece of Hungarian Art Nouveau architecture. Its white and pale-green façade is decorated with flowing curves and motifs of water lilies and aquatic plants, resembling an 'underwater palace.' It now houses the Reök Art Centre, which hosts photography, painting and design exhibitions, and visitors can go inside to see the exhibitions and the staircase. It is even more dreamlike when lit up at night. Located at the northern end of Kárász Street, the exterior can be viewed free of charge.
