The dome of the Hungarian Parliament Building ("Országház") as seen from the main square

The size and proportions of the dome of the Hungarian Parliament Building ("Országház") are strongly reminiscent of the dome of a church in Vienna, Austria, close to the Westbahnhof railway station. This is the Kirche Maria vom Siege (Victorious Mary's Church), built between 1868-1875, designed by Friedrich von Schmidt, who was also the master of Imre Steindl, the architect of the Hungarian Parliament Building. So the stylistic similarities probably due to this fact.
