The castle is located in Fertőd, in Northwestern Hungary, close to the Hungarian-Austrian border.

The Castle of Fertőd, called Hungarian Versailles, is one of the most beautiful castles in Hungary. Its construction begun in 1720 under the control of Prince József Esterházy and became soon the contemporary cultural center. The great Austrian composer Joseph Haydn had been almost two decades in the service of the Prince (the first two permanent theatres were built in the residence of Esterhazy family as well).

Now, remembering the older times, every week from June to September, concerts of classical music are given in the ceremonial hall by distinguished domestic and foreigh artists, accompanied by symphonic and chamber orchestras.
