Discover Interiors with Stories to Tell
Wander through the magnificent rooms on the bel étage at Esterházy Palace and marvel at art-historical treasures from the collection.
A tour of the first floor tells the tale of a remarkable and strong personality: Melinda Esterházy. Get to know the princess, not only as a prima ballerina assoluta but also as a person whose life was full of highs and lows.
On the palace’s ground floor, the story of Joseph Haydn as director of music and composer in the service of the Esterházy princes is vividly brought to life. Multimedia stations, project installations and unusual exhibits trace the work of this musical genius.
In the over 300-year-old palace cellars with over 700 rare, unusual and sometimes long-forgotten objects relating to wine and viticulture – from historic barrels to Burgenland’s oldest Baumpresse – the Wine Museum compellingly presents the history of winemaking under the Esterházy princes.
