Schloss Esterházy

The origin of this cultural landmark can be traced back to the 13th –century, as a Gothic fortress. Since 1622 the palace was owned by the Esterházy family. Esterházy Palace was used as an important place for social, cultural, and political meetings, chiefly due to its prime location at the intersection of Eastern and Western Europe. The Esterhazy Palace is a very popular tourist attraction, not only because of its beauty but also because it hosts a number of cultural events every year. Today, the Esterházy Palace is the prime cultural venue and architectural attraction of Burgenland. The palace is open for visits and guided tours are available.
