never been but they filmed melanie martinez’s film k-12 here and it looks amazing
I only visited the castle grounds, but if you are in the area, it'd be a huge mistake to miss! The park is beautifully renovated and really invokes the style of the Schönbrunn Palace, on a smaller scale. The staff was also really nice and helpful. I can only imagine what it may be like to visit in a greener season! (I visited in January.)
Nice and worth to see. Only guided tours, last about 45 min. Parking is for fee.
This palace is so amazingly beautiful! You come around the corner and it takes your breathe away. You do have to see the castle as part of a guided tour. Multiple languages are offered, however you can participate in any language based tour and get an informational guide in your spoken language. This is a must see palace!
Beautiful and romantic palace but beware that you must take a tour and non-Hungarian tours are infrequent e.g English at 13:00 only. If you come at another time, you will be given the option to go with a Hungarian-language tour and read the room descriptions for yourself from an information card. At HUF 3500 it is on the expensive side for a tour that last less than one hour.
What a lovely place. Our English tour guide was incredible. He gave us a wonderful history of the place and answered all our questions. Wonderful young man. Love the rose gardens.
Esterháza is a palace in Fertőd, Hungary, built by Prince Nikolaus Esterházy. Esterházy is a Hungarian noble family with origins in the Middle Ages. Since the 17th century, they were among the great landowner magnates of the Kingdom of Hungary during the time it was part of the Habsburg Empire and later Austria-Hungary. During the history of the Habsburg empire, the Esterházys were consistently loyal to the Habsburg rulers. The castle is Hungary's landmark Rococo building open for the tourists. The palace has 126 rooms. Of particular note is the Banquet Room which has on its ceiling a painting of Apollo in his Chariot. The large library holds almost 22,000 volumes and is graced with the letter 'E', standing for the family surname. The largest room is the grotto-like Sala Terrana which was inspired by the then fashionable Italianate style. On the ceiling are dancing Angels who hold wreaths of flowers in the shape of an 'E'. From 1766 to 1790, the estate was the home of the celebrated composer Joseph Haydn. He lived in a four-room flat in a large two-storey building housing servants' quarters. Haydn wrote the majority of his symphonies for the Prince's orchestra. Eszterháza had two opera houses. Professional guides assist visitors showing among other moments graffiti by Soviet Red Army soldiers occupying the place at the end of WW2. Allow minimum two hours to see and enjoy the beauties of the palace and rose garden and for a rest afterward.
