Alois Pichl (1782-1856), the court architect of the archducal family Este-Modena in Vienna, had also close ties with Hungary, in the first place due to Count János Keglevich’s patronage. Pichl built for him two remarkable country houses in Upper Hungary (now Slovakia), a neo-Classical one in Kistapolcsány (Topol’čianky) and a neo-Gothic one in Nagyugróc (Vel’ké Uherce). Alois Pichl also submitted a project for the competition of the Hungarian Parliament house in 1845, whose detailed description survives. His brother, Ferdinand Pichl, distinguished himself as the architect of the Malteserkirche in Vienna.
