O miejscu

The library preserves the printed heritage of the nation inside the Buda Castle Palace.

Count Ferenc Széchényi established the collection by travelling abroad to purchase Hungarian books before donating the assembled volumes to the nation. The public reading rooms first opened in Pest, prompting a nationwide wave of private book donations. The national assembly later merged the library with the newly formed Hungarian National Museum, turning the joint institution into a central depository for historical relics.

The museum eventually departed for its own quarters, leaving the library to regain independent institutional status under its present title. The entire holding later relocated to the palace wing at Buda Castle. Hungary divides national library responsibilities between this site and the University of Debrecen Library, while modern cataloguing efforts focus on semantic availability across the comprehensive archival collections.
