Schloss Esterhazy

The Schloss Esterhazy is a palace in Eisenstadt, Austria, the capital of the Burgenland state. It was constructed in the late 13th century, and came under ownership of the Hungarian Esterházy family in 1622. Under Paul I, 1st Prince Esterházy of Galántha the estate was converted into a baroque castle which remained the principal residence and center of administration of the family for over 300 years

Gloriette

A gloriette (from the 12th century French for "little glory") is a building in a garden erected on a site that is elevated with respect to the surroundings. The structural execution and shape can vary greatly, often in the form of a pavilion or tempietto, more or less open on the sides

Haydn Mausoleum

Joseph Haydn, the famous composer, was buried here in 1820 (without head, though - they took it away for medical studies).

The mortal remains (including his head that was held back until then by the "Friends of Music" society in Vienna) were buried in the dome room on June 5, 1954.

Diozesanmuseum

The Dom- and Diözesanmuseum holds some arresting medieval sculptures in wood and some kitsch Baroque pieces, like the Madonna shrine, whose cloak opens up to reveal God (forming her body), surrounded by a host of worshippers' faces. The highlights, though, are the fourteenth-century stained-glass window of an angel from the Stephansdom, and the dimly lit treasury of monstrances and macabre reliquaries, including St Leopold's hipbone, a piece of the Virgin Mary's belt and a smidgen of holy blood.
