The excellent building complex of the castle, with the exception of the Baroque theatre, remained in its entirety. The majority of the exhibitions of the museum operated here reminds of the Golden Age of the building which was the time of Miklós "the Bright" Esterházy (1762-1790). Joseph Haydn, a genius determining forms of music of the 18^th century also lived and worked here from 1766 to 1790.
