Vienna - Mozart Memorial Rooms Figarohaus

Figarohaus stands on Schulerstrasse which leads out of Stephansplatz. For three years, from 1784 to 1787, Mozart lived here with his wife and son on the first floor of this typical Old Viennese house near St Stephen's Cathedral. These were his happiest years, and it was here that he wrote "The Marriage of Figaro". For a short while Beethoven was his pupil and it was while he was resident here that Mozart was appointed Imperial Chamber Composer.
