EDITORS COMMENTS
Esterhazy Palace (Schloss Esterhazy), Eisenstadt, Austria: A Glimpse into the Grand Past of the Esterhazy Princely Family Nestled in the picturesque town of Eisenstadt, in the Burgenland region of Austria, stands the majestic Esterhazy Palace (Schloss Esterhazy). This architectural marvel, constructed in the late 13th century, boasts a rich and intriguing history that spans over seven centuries. The palace came under the ownership of the Hungarian Esterhazy family in 1622, marking the beginning of an era that would see it transformed into a grand baroque castle. Under the leadership of Paul I, the 1st Prince Esterhazy of Galantha, the estate underwent a significant transformation. The castle was converted into a magnificent baroque residence, which would remain the principal residence and center of administration of the Esterhazy family for over 300 years. The castle's opulent interiors, adorned with intricate frescoes, gilded stucco work, and ornate furnishings, reflect the wealth and power of the aristocratic family. The palace's extensive gardens, with their meticulously manicured lawns, fountains, and sculptures, offer a serene contrast to the castle's grandeur. The grounds also house the Esterhazy Family Mausoleum, where many members of the noble family are interred. This postcard, captured in the 1910s, provides a glimpse into the grandeur of the Esterhazy Palace, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Austria's Burgenland region.
