Eisenstadt, Administrative capital in Burgenland, Austria.
Eisenstadt sits at the southern end of the Leitha Mountains, with vineyards spreading across its surrounding landscape at 182 meters above sea level.
The settlement, mentioned in documents from 1264, transformed from a Hungarian free city into the capital of Burgenland following its incorporation into Austria in 1921.
The Esterházy Palace houses concert halls where Joseph Haydn composed numerous works during his three-decade tenure as court musician from 1761.
The downtown area contains numerous wine taverns, shops, and cultural institutions, all within walking distance of the main transportation connections.
The Bergkirche church contains the marble tomb of composer Joseph Haydn, featuring a skull replica since the original was stolen in 1809.
