Gróf Palota (1913)

In 1913, Arpad Grof, a lawyer, commissioned a building to be made by the famous Hungarian architect Ferenc J. Raichle. The building has three walls, two towers in front and a number of balconies. The building as it stands today has not been changed since its was erected almost hundred years ago. The mansion is used as an apartment building today.(from Virtual Tourist) Lonely Planet describes it as a "fantastical office building ... in the Secessionist style."

This place is fun, even if the architect got carried away.
