The Hilt-Vogel Palace (Romanian: Palatul Hilt-Vogel) is a historic building in Victory Square in Timișoara, Romania. It was built between 1911 and 1913, according to the plans of Hungarian architect László Székely.[1] The building is attached to the Széchényi Palace, designed by the same architect.[2] The architecture of the building corresponds to the Art Nouveau style, the szecesszió current,[3] and is made of brick, reinforced concrete, iron and tin and copper elements in the case of the parapets of the balconies.[4]
On the ground floor of the building is the Helios art gallery (former art gallery of the Timișoara Plastic Fund), moved here in 1968.[5] Over the years it has hosted over 1,000 exhibitions of visual artists from Timișoara, including Péter Jecza, Adalbert Luca, Ștefan Bertalan, Julius Podlipny and Romul Nuțiu.[4]
