Palace gardens at Gödöllő

And no sun yet again; it seems to come and go by the minute in Hungary.

Construction was begun on this enormous palace in 1733 by Count Antal Grassalkovich. It was later used as a summer palace in particular by Hapsburg Empress Elisabeth, who is said to have loved Hungary, and just this year it served as an official meeting site for Hungary's term as EU president. Unfortunately, the two times I have been here photography was prohibited inside.
