history

The Palais Kutscherfeld was built in 1762 in rococo style in place of three older houses. The owner was Leopold von Kutscherfeld . The palace was later bought by the Esterházy family. One of the most famous guests of the house was the Russian pianist Anton Rubinstein , who lived here in 1847. It is possible that he composed one of his most famous pieces here, the melody in F (from opus 3). Count József Antal Vince Hubert Esterházy de Galántha was born in the palace on January 22, 1911.
