Sopron - Storno House

One of the finest palaces of the town stands next to the tower. It was built in the Middle Ages and King Matthias Corvinus lived here in 1482/83 during a campaign against Vienna. The Baroque exterior dates from the mid-18th C István Széchenyi and Franz Liszt also resided here. In 1872 Franz Storno the Elder (1821-1907) bought the house; the name of this family of Italian and Swiss origin dates back generations in the town's history, its members were famous artists and art collectors.
