The Stock Exchange is situated in six different buildings from establishment.

The Lloyd Mansion (Budapest, 5th district, Bridgehead of the Chain bridge at Pest side from 1864 to 1873) was the first home of the Exchange. The neo-classical palace built according to József Hild’s plans was one of the most beautiful buildings of 19th-century Pest. The main facade, with a five-bay central risalit and two five-bay wings presented a dignified and harmonious sight. The middle part of the building, rounded off by a tympanum, is flanked by two thin Ionic columns spanning two stories.

Ever since the exchange was founded, its members always inspired for an independent and separate building. The new headquarter was jointly built by BCSE and the Lloyd Association on the corner of Wurm and Mária Valéria street (Budapest, 5th district, today Szende Pál and Apáczai Csere János street from 1873 to 1905). The decorated mansion carried a number of gold-painted sculptures of Mercury on the top.

The Exchange Palace on Szabadság tér (Budapest, 5th district, Szabadság square from 1906 to 25 May 1948)

From the point of view of Budapest’s architectural history, the greatest achievement of the old BCSE was its mansion building at Szabadság tér (Budapest, 5th district, Szabadság square from 1905 until the exchange was shut down on 25 May 1948). The Stock Exchange Palace was built to the designs of Ignác Alpár. The palace was 145 meters long and 41-61 meters wide, and was the largest building of its kind in Europe. The arched entranceway was adorned by two neo-renaissance towers with lions and a tympanum. On that Hephaestus and Mercury, the gods of commerce and industry, were seated. The facade is made of limestone from Süttő and Sóskút, and the lobby is covered in marble and granite. The Grünwald brothers and Miksa Schiffer’s company were the contractors; the decoration was made by the craftsmen of the Steindl Guild; Ignác Langer was the decorative sculptor, Béla Seenger and József Kauser were the stonemasons, and the majolica ornaments were prepared by the Zsolnay Factory.

The palace bordered by Váci utca and Deák Ferenc utca, was built between 1911 and 1915 to the designs of Ignác Alpár. The interior of the first and second floors was made out of high quality materials such as marble from Siena and French Escalette. The ornate wooden doors, the meeting hall, and the layout of the foyer were prepared in regal splendor according to the designs of Ödön Faragó, the interior sections of the building are enveloped in the glory of Miksa Róth’s breathtaking stained glass windows.
