This is just over an hour from Vienna by bus or train ( expect to pay c 25 euros for a return trip by train - 2023 prices). Palace is c 15/ 20 minute walk from the station (slightly uphill) Lots of exhibitions and items of interest. I would strongly advise paying the extra and taking one of the guided tours, particularly if you are a Haydn fan, as you get into areas, that are less open and that are very Haydn related.

I had wanted to visit for about 40 years. The attraction was Haydn. What a disappointment. Everything was awful. The booking on line did not work properly and although I got a ticket for the next day at 10pm, the ticket I had received was for the day I had booked. No guided tour available. The train journey was surprising. A very flat landscape and uninspiring. The walk up through Eisenstadt was sobering. Very run down and a bit edgy. The Schloss was badly organised and the Haydn 'explosion' was completely awful in every way. The objects were badly displayed, had little authenticity and set within atrocious decor. If you are interested in Haydn and his music please do not go. The Schloss exhibition was a random collection of items from the family. It made no sense, was badly organised and I could not wait to leave. The redeeming features: None, although the lady in the shop who sorted out the ticket was helpful.

Schönes Ambiente , interessantes Museum, einfache Buchung, gut gelegen, lohnenswert vorbei zu schauen

Der Haydnsaal mit der Matinee durch ein hervorragendes Streichquartett dargebracht. Sehr schöner Schlosspark zudem.

Si tratta del palazzo della famiglia Esterhazy, che ha avuto tra i suoi ospiti illustri il celebre compositore Haydn. La visita del palazzo si suddivide in tre parti: al piano terra, vi è una sezione museale interamente dedicata al noto compositore ed alla sua musica; il primo piano è dedicato alla storia dell’ultimo principe degli Esterhazy e a sua moglie, con la sala da concerti Haydn con i suoi splendidi affreschi settecenteschi, nonché le altre stanze degli appartamenti nobiliari della famiglia; mentre nei sotterranei si trova il museo sul vino. La visita della residenza è indubbiamente molto interessante ma non sarei stato così soddisfatto se avessi dovuto pagare i 19€ del biglietto, che è invece gratuito con la NÖ Card.

Palazzo nettamente inferiore alle aspettative anche se comunque bello soprattutto la sala grande di Haydn,le cantine, la collezione di argento. Purtroppo si scopre nel corso della visita che alcune stanze sono visitabili solo con tour guidato, cosa che dovrebbe essere detta all'ingresso considerato che la differenza di prezzo è davvero modesta. Molto carina la via che si trova di fianco al palazzo. Assolutamente da evitare i bar di fronte al palazzo per i prezzi assolutamente spropositati

Sehr gelungene Ausstellung. Der Eintritt ist mit der Neusiedler-Seekarte kostenlos. Der Eintrittspreis ist etwas hoch gegriffen. Dass immerwieder Menschen ohne Masken rumlaufen ist halt hinzunehmen.

Wir haben das Schloss Esterházy im Juli 2021 besucht. Zunächst haben wir an der immer Donnerstags und Freitags stattfindenden Sommer-Matinee teilgenommen. Dabei führte das Haydn Quartett Stücke unter dem Motto "Wunderkinder" vor. Die Vorstellung ist für Inhaber der Neusiedlersee-Card kostenlos. Ebenso die Schlossbesichtigung. In diesem Zusammenhang bietet es sich auch an, die Möglichkeit der Tiefgaragen-Pauschale (5,-- Euro für 4 Stunden) in Anspruch zu nehmen. Die Matinee war u. a. auch durch die zwischen den Stücken erfolgenden Erläuterungen sehr abwechslungsreich und kurzweilig. Wir wollten eigentlich noch an der alle 2 Stunden stattfindenden Schloss-Führung teilnehmen, allerdings war diese bereits ausgebucht. So haben wir uns für den Audio-Guide für 2,-- Euro entschieden. Allerdings waren die darin enthaltenen Erläuterungen sehr ins Detail gehend und der Audio-Guide hat damit sehr viel Zeit in Anspruch genommen. Interessant fanden wir die aktuelle Ausstellung über Fürstin Melinda Esterházy. Alles in allem lohnt sich der Besuch des Schloss Esterhazy,

Daniel T

Exposition basée sur Haydn trés interessantes qui interessaera éssentiellement les passionés. Présentation de l'épopée de la famille Esterhazy coincée dans la Hongrie communiste, dépouillée de ses biens Hongrois par l'état et fuiyant dans la clandestinité. Permet de rappeler les méfaits du totalitarisme.

Krasny zážitok, dobre organizovaný cestovnou kanceláriou Satur, spojené aj so zaujímavým vykladom vystavy o posledných Esterhazyovcoch. Zabezpečili lístky a nebol problém s parkovaním
