Between the years 1895-96, to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the country, based on the plans of the famous Viennese architect couple Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer, the Kecskemet City Theatre was built. The architectural masterpiece, often called a jewel box, is now a historic building and is still considered one of the most beautiful and richly decorated theatres in the country. The eclectic style of the building is enriched with neo-baroque ornaments, mostly the work of Henrik Hausbeitner's amazing sculptural craft. On the beautiful facade in window niches one can find the portrait sculptures of Károly Kisfaludy and Jezsef Katona. The theatre has been modernized several times, the most complex renovation in 1986.
