House of Parliament
The heating of the Parliament will only be modernised in the next cycle - The placement of the Holy Crown must be taken care of as well

The House of Parliament was handed over in the fall of 1902, but the heating of the nearly 18,000-square-metre public building - which was one of the world's first district heating systems - has never been modernised. The assessment of outdated technical systems has already begun in Budapest's best-known monument, and the investment plan and cost estimate will be completed by 31 May 2023. After that, the government will decide whether planning for the internal reconstruction and modernisation of the building can begin, and then it will also be decided whether the National Assembly will have to move out during the renovation period.

The government has decided that when it is financially possible, it will support the start of the internal reconstruction of the Parliament, which is outdated in many ways.
