The highlights of this exhibition are precious items never before shown from the collections of the princes, such as porcelain from Frankenthal, table silver from the Viennese company Würth, or an Empire clock with accompanying candelabra.

Room archaeology and artistic enjoyment go hand in hand in this exhibition of the Esterházy Private Foundation. They document the mastery of artists, the patronage and the representational obligations of princes, as well as the versatility of aristocratic interiors.

The splendid Haydn Hall, with its excellent acoustics, is one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world and is one of the absolute highlights of the castle tour. Joseph Haydn's (1732 - 1809) historical roots and the numerous Haydn memorial sites in Eisenstadt and its surroundings bear witness to the composer's close connection to this city and especially to the Esterházy family.
