House of Music (Muzsika-haz), Fertod
Working for decades for the lord of the palace, Prince Miklós Esterházy, composer Joseph Haydn once lived in this 18th-century Baroque building. There is a furnished memorial room here in his honour.
On the facade of this delicate house a bronze relief by sculptor Jenő Bory signifies that in a three-room, first floor apartment Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) lived and worked along with the other musicians and singers commissioned by the Esterházy family. Thus the name of the building - the House of Music.
Aside from the Haydn Memorial Room in the House of Music, a local history collection is also housed here along with other institutes.
Out of season visits are available only by prior appointment.
