Greenhouses to visit in Hungary
The Verrière atlas lists 13 greenhouses in Hungary, built between 1865 and 2017.
Hungary has made the Pálmaház, or palm house, an institution of its botanical gardens. In Budapest, the Füvészkert's octagon of iron and glass, built in 1865, is immortalised in The Paul Street Boys, while the zoo's palm house, built in 1909–1912, holds a miniature jungle. At Keszthely, the Festetics Palace's 1880 glasshouse stands on a frame made in Gustave Eiffel's Paris workshops. The universities of Debrecen, Pécs and Szeged keep their own glasshouses, Vácrátót heats its palm house with thermal water, and in 2010 Nyíregyháza Zoo set a rainforest under ETFE above an oceanarium.
