History

Aspremont János Gobert, royal chamberlain, ordered the construction of the Baroque palace for the purpose of his summer residence in 1770. The architect was Talher József. Soon it became the property of the Esterházy family, and Haydn, as he was their court musician, played in the palace several times. In the 1850a Schiftbeck Károly purchased the building and created apartments in it. One of its most beautiful part is the Baroque Chapel of the Holy Cross. Currently the palace is occupied by a university.

The former Erdődy Garden, now Medic Garden, is connected to the palace from the south. This French garden was created in the 18th century. The statue of Petőfi Sándor, the great poet of the Hungarian Revolution in 1848, can be found in the garden.
