Anker Palace (Hungarian: Anker-palota) is a building in Terézváros, Budapest. It was built by Ignác Alpár in 1908 for a Viennese insurance company, the Anker Life and Pension Company. The building was built in the eclectic style[1] and was completed in 1910. It faces on to Deák Ferenc Square. There are Doric columns on the facade and two statues of women with outstretched arms on the roof.[2]
