The Reök Palace is an Art Nouveau building in downtown Szeged, which was built in 1907 based on the plans of Ede Magyar.

His story History Ede Magyar, the designer of the building, had only eight creative years in his tragically short life. He designed his most beautiful creation, the Reök Palace, residential building No. 56, Tisza Lajos körút, Szeged, using the experience material and design he had brought with him during his travels in Europe. The building is the embodiment of Hungarian Art Nouveau in a uniform, pure style, and is one of the most beautiful in European terms. In the city center, at the corner of Kölcsey utca and Feketesas utca, he had a nice lot at his disposal. The customer is Iván Reök, head of the Process Engineering Office, cultural engineer, wealthy landowner, member of parliament.
