History

The building was constructed in 1753. The country assemblies of Hungary were held in the building between 1802 and 1848. Count Széchenyi István founded the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in the building in 1825. The country assembly of 1843-1844 declared Hungarian as the official language of Hungary (previously it was the Latin). The building functioned as a barracks from 1849. From 1859, during the absolutism that followed the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution, the regional Imperial government (Helytartóság) used the building. The Royal High Court occupied the building in 1891. It has been a university library since 1953.
