from
Wikipedia
In the 19th century, the seat of Esztergom archbishops was moved back to Esztergom and the Hungarian capital was moved to Buda.
Summer Archbishop's Palace was converted into a military hospital and its garden was used as a military exercising ground.
Statues from the garden were sold and an outside staircase leading from the garden directly to a hall on the first floor was demolished.
After the breakup of Czechoslovakia the newly created Slovak State was in need of administrative and office buildings in the capital city to house the government and ministries.
Summer Archbishop's Palace was chosen to house the Ministry of foreign affairs and a whole government district was supposed to be constructed in the vicinity, this plan however did not materialise.
