When he got promoted to conductor in 1766, Haydn bought this house and lived there with his wife Aloisia Keller until 1778.
Haydn and Eisenstadt are inseparable. From 1761 on, Haydn worked as conductor for the Esterházy court, a calling he followed for more than 40 years. Five years after his commission to the Esterházy court, he bought the baroque house situated in what is now called 21 Haydngasse. He has lived there for 12 years. Numerous furniture items and original instruments - everything from a hammer piano dating back to the year 1780 to the organ table that was originally in the Bergkirche - make this collection a true feast for all senses.
