Esterházy-paloták, Baroque palace complex in Sopron, Hungary

The Esterházy Palaces stand in the heart of Sopron, featuring two connected buildings with Tuscan column arcades and ornate Baroque architectural elements.

The palaces underwent transformation from a 14th-century residence during King Sigismund's reign into grand Baroque mansions under the Esterházy family ownership in 1614.

The Central Mining Museum, established within the palace walls in 1957, presents exhibits about Hungarian mining heritage through numerous artifacts and documents.

The palace complex, located at 2 Templom Street, contains detailed late Baroque decorative paintings from 1780 that visitors can examine during museum hours.

The courtyard maintains its original 17th-century structure with Tuscan columns, while the family coat of arms adorns the entrance in relief form.

Location: Sopron

Address: Templom utca 2.
