Eszterházy Palace, Baroque château in Fertőd, Hungary

The palace features a three-story central block with eleven bays, complemented by two extending wings that form a ceremonial courtyard with ornate iron gates.

Prince Nikolaus Esterházy transformed a hunting lodge into this grand palace between 1764 and 1784, collaborating with architects Melchior Hefele and Miklós Jakoby.

The palace earned recognition across Europe through musical performances directed by Joseph Haydn, who composed numerous symphonies within these walls from 1766 to 1790.

Visitors can attend classical music concerts in the restored Marionette theatre between June and September, experiencing performances in the former banquet halls.

The palace complex includes 126 rooms decorated in Rococo style, a 300-hectare garden, and maintains a permanent suite reserved for the Esterházy family.
