Although the house belongs to Mária Schmidt and her family, it has turned out that due to the unexpected move of the Capital, we may never see the famous decorative lighting of the Madách Square arch again.

The iconic lighting of the Madách Square arch in Budapest is at risk due to a dispute involving its private owners and the city council. The arch, part of a notable 1937 building complex, has served as a landmark for decades. However, this year, the lights were not turned on, raising concerns about the future of this historic feature. The situation stems from the privatization of the building and its associated lighting system, which had been maintained by the city for nearly 30 years without issue. The new private owners now control the lighting, complicating its public accessibility.
