Discover more about Erdődy-Landgut, Beethoven-Gedenkstätte

The Erdődy-Landgut, located in Vienna's Floridsdorf district, is a historical site dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven, who often visited Countess Anna Maria Erdödy at her country estate. Built in 1795, the estate provided a tranquil escape where Beethoven found inspiration and composed some of his most celebrated works. Beethoven's connection with the Erdödy family began around 1803, and he became a regular guest at the estate by 1815. Countess Erdödy's patronage was instrumental in providing Beethoven with the financial support he needed to remain in Vienna. The composer dedicated several works to her, including the Piano Trios Opus 70, the Cello Sonatas Opus 102, and the canon 'Glück, Glück zum neuen Jahr' WoO 176. In 1863, a fire damaged the building, leading to its reconstruction without the original upper floor. In 1974, the Wiener Allianz Versicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft acquired the estate and established a Beethoven memorial site, which opened on June 18, 1974. Due to a change of ownership, the museum closed in 2012, and the exhibits were moved to the Floridsdorf Local Museum. Today, visitors can still admire the exterior of the building and reflect on Beethoven's time spent in this peaceful setting.
