Since then, the area has been excavated and reconstruction has begun. The only restraints are the signs in Hungarian which clearly illustrate the places where it is unsafe. I wouldn't argue with that. Wooden boxes form the square base and large orange pipes protrude upwards, all covered in cloth and painted gray to give the impression of stone. Architekton, the omnipresent company which seems to be reconstructing or renovating every building in Hungary, has a huge sign up in this historical site.
Some small sections are complete, but it appears to be a gargantuan task.
The Palace was originally founded by King Charles Robert, from the French Anjou dynasty. He was crowned in 1310 after a 9 year power vacuum when three foreign competitors had all been crowned. In 1335, it was the scene of the Visegr d Congress. The monarchs of Central Europe and the Grandmaster of the Teutonic Knights met to try and agree on how to deal with the Hapsburg's growing power. This sleepy village also played host to an important conference as recent as 1991.
