Suetto Limestone

also known as Suetto Stone, Hungaro Limestone, Magyar Limestone

Quarried in the Danube Bend area of northern Hungary, Suetto limestone is a warm buff to ivory Eocene-era shell limestone that has built Central European cities for three centuries. Used in the Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, and countless Austro-Hungarian Baroque facades across Budapest, Vienna and Prague. Its uniform warm cream tone and excellent workability made it the premier Hungarian building stone.
