Why this is the correct answer
Esterházy Palace in Eisenstadt was built by the Esterházy princely family in the Baroque style in the seventeenth century and served as their primary Hungarian residence after Hungarian estates were consolidated. Joseph Haydn served as Kapellmeister to the Esterházy family from 1761 to 1790, composing the bulk of his symphonies, quartets, and operas in the palace's Haydnsaal concert room. Today the palace houses exhibitions on the Esterházy dynasty and on Haydn, and the Haydnsaal continues to serve as a concert venue.
