The Neuschlosz brothers Ödön and Marcel were sons of a family that had been involved with timber and woodwork for centuries. The highly reputed company Neuschloss and Son, founded by their uncle, Károly Neuschloss, made the roof truss for the Opera House and the ornamental ceiling of the Royal Riding Hall in Buda Castle. Ödön and Marcel were also involved in the turn-of-the-century development of Buda Castle, and they supplied the parquet for the legendary St Stephen’s Hall. Among the many other famous Budapest buildings they worked on were Vajdahunyad Castle in Városliget park, the Parliament building, and the Royal Law Courts. They also built cadet schools in Pécs, Sopron and Nagyvárad (now Oradea, Romania) and barracks in Przemyśl, Lemberg, Vác and Nagyvárad; and they rebuilt the town of Eperjes (now Prešov, Slovakia) after it was destroyed by fire.
