The Haydn House in Joseph-Haydn-Gasse was the home of the composer Joseph Haydn from 1766 to 1778, while he was Kapellmeister at the Esterházy court.

Esterházy Palace stands on the site of a medieval castle in the centre of Eisenstadt and has belonged to the Esterházy family since the 17th century. Carlo Martino Carlone rebuilt it as a Baroque residence from 1663. Joseph Haydn served the princes here from 1761, and the former great hall, now the Haydn Hall, is used for concerts.

The Bergkirche is a Baroque pilgrimage church in Eisenstadt, begun in 1715 for Prince Paul Esterházy and consecrated in 1803, with a round interior under a dome fresco of 1772.

The Fabricius House on Fő tér in Sopron stands on the remains of a Roman public building and took its present form in the 17th century, keeping a Gothic hall, Gothic and Baroque cellars and a two-storey courtyard loggia. It is named after Endre Fabricius, mayor from 1823. Part of the Sopron Museum's Museum Quarter, it shows Roman stone monuments in its cellars.

The Goat Church is a Gothic church on Fő tér in Sopron, built by Franciscan friars from about 1280 and held by the Benedictines since 1802. Its name comes from the goat in the arms of the Gaissel family, who paid for the vault and the 47-metre tower around 1400. Hungarian diets and coronations were held in it in the 17th century.
