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.
