Highlights
  • Schloss Esterhazy - Discover Interiors with Stories to Tell

Wander through the magnificent rooms on the bel ‘etage 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.
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.

Due to ongoing events, there may occasionall be restrictions on visiting the Haydn hall.

A nice day out from Vienna - This is just over an hour from Vienna by bus or train ( expect to pay c 25 euros for a return trip by train - 2023 prices). Palace is c 15/ 20 minute walk from the station (slightly uphill) Lots of exhibitions and items of interest. I would strongly advise paying the extra and taking one of the guided tours, particularly if you are a Haydn fan, as you get into areas, that are less open and that are very Haydn related.

Truly awful, tacky and tasteless - I had wanted to visit for about 40 years. The attraction was Haydn. What a disappointment. Everything was awful. The booking on line did not work properly and although I got a ticket for the next day at 10pm, the ticket I had received was for the day I had booked. No guided tour available. The train journey was surprising. A very flat landscape and uninspiring. The walk up through Eisenstadt was sobering. Very run down and a bit edgy. The Schloss was badly organised and the Haydn 'explosion' was completely awful in every way. The objects were badly displayed, had little authenticity and set within atrocious decor. If you are interested in Haydn and his music please do not go. The Schloss exhibition was a random collection of items from the family. It made no sense, was badly organised and I could not wait to leave. The redeeming features: None, although the lady in the shop who sorted out the ticket was helpful.
