Facts and practical information

The High-rise of Pécs was a high-rise residential building of 84 meters' height and 25 floors, in Pécs, Hungary. It was built between 1974 and 1976 by Baranya County State Construction Industry Company. When it was inhabited, it had 800 residences. In 1989, however, it was determined that the building's inner structure was deteriorating to a dangerous extent. The building was evacuated. There have been some plans to renovate and use the building for various purposes, but none of these were ever realized. By 2003 the building had fallen into a critical condition, so it was reinforced, but it remained out of use. It was the tallest out-of-use building in Central Europe until its deconstruction in 2016.
