History
Archbishop Batthyány József of Esztergom ordered the construction of the palace, which took place between 1778 and 1781 according to the plans of Melchior Hefele. The tympanum is decorated by the archbishop's coat of arms and his cardinal's hat.
The Peace of Pozsony was signed in its Mirror Room on December 26, 1805 after the united Austrian and Russian army was defeated by Napoleon in the battle of Austerlitz. Emperor Ferdinand V signed the so-called April Laws here on April 11, 1848. The laws demanded by the Hungarian Revolution abolished the serfdom among other things and converted Hungary to a constitutional monarchy.
In 1849 Haynau signed the death sentences of the Hungarian revolutionaries here after the Habsburgs managed to suppress the Hungarian Revolution with Russian help. Batthiány Lajos, the first Hungarian prime minister, 13 generals of the Hungarian War of Independence and many revolutionaries were executed. There is a series of 17th century English gobelins (tapestry) in the palace depicting the tragic love of Hero and Leander. The gobelins were purchased by Archbishop Batthyány Lajos from Cardinal Mazarin.
The chapel of St. László can be found in the palace and the fountain of St. George the Dragon Slayer is in its inner courtyard.
