This is the road front of the Haydn-house. You can watch also the little garden in front of the house. There are lovely flowers and specially lots of roses.

A story tells as follows: When Haydn came back from his triumphant journey to England, he should have kissed the gate of this birthplace. Although he left this house with 6 years, he never forget its roots.

This room was the room where the Haydn´s eat, drank and spent most of their time. It is good example of the living rooms in that century (and specially in this region).

Follow the road No. 211 in direction to Petronell, and you will find the biggest archaeological monument of Austria: The "Heidentor"

The "Heidentor" was built 2000 years ago and it is part of the "Carnuntum" archaeological park in Petronell.

The palace

Favorite thing: At the beginning of the village stand the Schloss Harrach, which was built in baroque style. I don´t know when it was built exactly. The Harrachs, which where diplomats and ambassadors during the Habsburg Empire, used it as their residence for a long time.

Fondest memory: In this time they collected hundreds of masterpieces from famous dutch, italian and spanish painters and it became the biggest private collection in Austria and one of the most meaningful in the whole world.
