History

The Eszterhazy of Galantha were a Hungarian magnate family that was elevated to the rank of Imperial Prince in 1687. The princely majorate, which at the turn of the century included 21 castles, 60 market towns and 414 villages, was still the most extensive landed estate in Hungary in 1945.

The two most famous members of the house were Nicholas Joseph (1714-1790), who built the castle in the Eszterhaza, where Haydn worked as a chapel master for almost 30 years, and Nicholas Prince of Eszterhazy (1765-1833), that Austro-Hungarian field marshal who could afford to turn down the Hungarian royal crown offered to him by Napoleon in 1809. The famous Beiried is attributed to him.
