House of
Terror Museum
The Neo-Renaissance museum building designed by Adolf
Feszty in 1880 contains exhibits related to the fascist
and communist dictatorial regimes in 20th century. The
museum's pamphlet says: "It was truly a house of
terror. In 1944, during the gruesome domination of the
Hungarian Arrow Cross Party, this building, known as the
"House of Loyalty" was the party headquarters
of the Hungarian Nazis. Then between 1945 and 1956, the
notorious communist terror organizations, the ÁVO and
its successor, the ÁVH, took up residence here. 60 Andrássy
Boulevard has become the house of terror and dread." |
