Constructions and exterior of the Eszterházy Palace


The palace of Eszterhaza was built in baroque and rococo style, though we can see the features of the copf style as well.

The palace

In the Eszterházy Palace the constructions began in 1720 when there was a U-shaped castle for purposes of hunting.

Plans of the palace in 1774



 In 1762 Miklós Eszterházy organized a” commissio” when they agreed to reconstruct the palace and decided on the tasks of the workers. The constructions finished in 1784 and this is how it looks like today. There are new baroque style gates.
