About Schloss Esterházy
Esterházy Palace occupies a central position in Eisenstadt. The complex is linked to the family’s history and to the musical life of Joseph Haydn in the town.
The routes present rooms and exhibitions with different themes, including rooms related to music and court life. The Haydnsaal is a highlight of the building, but access depends on the circuit and activities. A musical performance is not automatically part of the palace visit.
Choose the exhibition and route before booking. The gardens and the surrounding area help to understand the ensemble, without replacing the interiors. For those interested in Haydn, allow time to connect the palace with other places in Eisenstadt, rather than making only a quick entry.
