Review:
The town of Fertod is home to another of Budapest’s seriously impressive castles which you should not miss seeing. Esterhazy Castle is located on the shores of Lake Ferto, close to the Austrian border and is sometimes referred to as the “Hungarian Versailles” for its impressive style and beauty. Interestingly, part of the castle (in fact, the servant’s quarters) was once the home of the famous composer Joseph Haydn (1766-1790) and operas were staged there several times a year until the main opera theater burnt down. A guided tour is the best way to see the castle and you can request an English fact sheet to help you appreciate all the features.
