Erdődy estate
The listed Erdődy estate , a former summer resort in the Vienna suburb of Jedlesee north of the Danube, was used as a Beethoven memorial until 2013.
The estate of the Hungarian magnate family Erdődy was built in the then independent municipality Jedlesee in 1795 and rebuilt after a fire in 1863. The single-storey eaves building, like all the houses on Jeneweingasse back then, with a central projectile, hipped roof and a simple structure, has suspected windows with valance panels. On the street facade are reliefs from 1927 by the sculptor Oskar Icha about Ludwig van Beethoven and about the hostess Countess Marie Erdődy . The facade has a high water mark from 1830, the garden on the side of the courtyard reached back to the Schwarze Lacke , a lacquer that became a flowing body of water when the Danube flooded. In a niche in the street facade is a stone figure of St. Florian from the end of the 18th century. In the hall there is a torso of a Johannes Nepomuk figure from the 18th century.
Due to a change of ownership in 2012, the association of the Friends of the Beethoven Memorial in Floridsdorf had to close the museum. Most of the events and museum objects were brought to the Floridsdorf local history museum .
