Tata - Eszterházy House

|
This complex of buildings on the west bank of the lake was built by Jakob Fellner for the Eszterházy family in the second half of the 18th C. There is a two-story main building completed in 1777 with an attic roof and two corner towers (now a hospital), the Small House built in 1751 for administrative purposes, the magnificent stables divided by red marble towers and the Turkish bath which existed in the Middle Ages and was renovated in simple Baroque style in 1733-38. - Emperor Franz I of Austria, fleeing from Napoleon, signed the peace treaty of Schönbrunn here at Tata and Emperor Charles I made a final attempt here to restore the Hungarian royalty to Habsburg rule.
On the Hosök tere, opposite Eszterházy House, replicas of ancient sculpture can be seen in the former synagogue (Görög-római Másolatmúzeum).
