The Danube Palace ((ハンガリー語:Duna Palota)) is a Neo-Baroque concert hall located at the Inner City of Budapest, Hungary. ==History== The Danube Palace is a Neo-Baroque concert hall completed in 1885 as part of Budapest’s massive expansion for the millennium celebrations. Hungary was a thousand years old in 1896 and the Habsburg Emperor Franz Joseph I was determined to create a prestigious city that reflected its ancient standing. It was built between 1894 and 1897, according to the plans of Vilmos Freund, in co-operation with the contractor Géza Márkus. Originally, it was a casino, built as a location for entertainment rather than gambling. The Danube Palace was the home of many theatrical performances, just as it is today. The beautiful halls and rooms of the building provide an excellent opportunity to host several events. The building took its current shape in 1941. Between 1895 and World War II, the Danube Palace was open for the public for various events. During the war it was completely empty, because that part of the Danube was also the front line between the occupying Soviets on the Pest side, and the Germans on the Buda side. After the end of the World War II in 1945, the German military blew up all the bridges that connected the two sides of the Hungarian capital. That is why a few modern buildings can be seen in the area of the Danube palace, including the building of the Sofitel hotel and of the Intercontinental Hotel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danube Palace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
