One of the most beautiful buildings in the castle is the Archbishop's Palace, designed by Jakab Fellner, which stands on the site of the former Queen's Palace and the Bishop's Castle.

As early as the time of Stephen I, and probably even earlier, the ecclesiastical and secular centres of the city were located side by side on the northern tip of the castle hill. Among the ecclesiastical buildings there must have been a bishop's palace, but we have very little information about its earliest forms.

The current Archbishop's Palace is the work of Bishop Ignác Koller (1762-1763), who commissioned Jakab Fellner to prepare a design for the building in 1763. The entire palace is decorated with frescoes by the world-famous master Johann Cymbal from 1772.

The furniture is the result of centuries of collecting and buying. The building is rich in 18th-century art treasures: paintings, engravings, sculptures and furniture. The palace's collection includes, for example, the desk of Bishop Károly Hornig (1888-1917), a suede sofa made for Franz Joseph's visit, the furniture of Queen Elisabeth (Sissy) and her gifts, including the chasuble made from the train of her coronation dress for the high clergyman.
