1.-2. House of Terror Museum. The Neo-Renaissance museum building designed by Adolf Feszty in 1880 contains exhibits related to the fascist and communist dictatorial regimes in 20th century. The museum's pamphlet says: "It was truly a house of terror. In 1944, during the gruesome domination of the Hungarian Arrow Cross Party, this building, known as the "House of Loyalty" was the party headquarters of the Hungarian Nazis. Then between 1945 and 1956, the notorious communist terror organizations, the ĮVO and its successor, the ĮVH, took up residence here. 60 Andrįssy Boulevard has become the house of terror and dread."
