    Nice house. Important to remember that when Haydn bought it this was countryside and the street and the back garden looked very different. Still, he's lived several happy years here. I came here around 4:30pm and had the house to myself.

    In 1793, aged around 61, Haydn bought a house in Gumpendorf, which was then a leafy and quiet village outside Vienna and now forms part of the city’s 6th district. It would be four years until Haydn moved in (among other things, he filled the intervening time with a long trip to London), but the house became his residence until his death there in 1809. Haydn’s occupancy coincides with perhaps his period of greatest celebrity. Fortunately for us, the building has survived intact. The fine folk at the Wien Museum turned it into a small, permanent Haydn exhibition and restored the house with delicate historical accuracy. INSIDE THE HAYDN HOUSE Rather incongruously, a virtual parrot greets you when you enter the courtyard through the big wooden doors. Apparently, Haydn bought a parrot in London.

    I did a double trip of Beethoven museum and Haydnhaus in the same morning. The museums open at 10am and close for an hour at 1pm for lunch. You can do both back to back if you hustle and know the tube system. The Haydnhaus took me about 45mins versus 90 mins at the Beethoven site. The Haydnhaus also includes an exhibit on Brahms which was an unexpected surprise. If you are a lover of classical music I'd courage you to experience and visit as many of the sites that the Vienna museum provides for visitors on Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn and Strauss. As you can probably guess, the crowds are non-existent and those in the museum with you are off a like mind.

    This was where Haydn resided for the last 12 years of his life. Gave us a great insight into Haydn’s late life and time in Vienna. Original compositions and documents were interesting, and many of his possessions were preserved, including his last piano. This exhibition was not busy in the late afternoon when we went, and gave us time to slowly digest each piece. No need to purchase tickets in advance. To add a cherry on top, there is a room designated to Brahms, as his apartment was destroyed. I can’t recommend this enough for a lover of classical music or anyone interested in Haydn

    Super interesting is you’re a classic music lover! What an interesting man / composer! A very well kept museum of Haydn’s last home with full English translations. Plus it includes a Brahms room!!! I even ended up buying the book...

    Beautifully curated and maintained museum, esp. Haydn's garden (which was blooming and bearing fruit in early Sept.) The "bonus" is that this is two museums in one: Brahms has a room as a "permanent guest," with memorabilia from his nearby apt that was destroyed in 20th cent.

    Pretty cool, especially if you are a Haydn fan. Area is poorly signed but you can mostly figure it out. Not worth doing if you aren't a fan though.

    (Translated by Google) 🎼Haydn acquired the ground-level Viennese suburban house in Haydngasse 19📬, near the present shopping street ariMariahilfer Straße, in 1793. He had it rebuilt and topped up. In the house, which was to serve him for twelve years as a domicile, a large part of his late work was created, including the magnificent oratorios "The Creation" and "The Seasons". Probably the actual Haydn apartment comprises the first floor. The ground floor was probably reserved for the servant and notary of the composer, 🎼Johann Elßler, the father of the celebrated dancer 💃🏻Fanny Elßler. For the Haydn Year 2009, the Haydn House was extensively redesigned. At the center of the permanent exhibition "Haydns🎅🏻 last years" are his music, his way of life and his aging. His numerous visitors also speak, and both Haydn's Fortepiano🎹 and his clavichord are exhibited. The garden was reconstructed as in the days of Haydn. This "Kuchlgartl🏝" is today a green oasis in the middle of the city. Since the composer Johannes Brahms🎼 (1833 - 1897) was one of Haydn's most admired admirers and endeavored to commemorate his great example, there is also a Brahms memorial in the Haydn House.🇫🇷Napoleon⚔️ (then besiegers of 💣Wien!) Posed as a great admirer Haydns🎼 in May 1809 in front of the dying composer's house an honor guard.💂🏻♀️ The museum is a must for Haydn fans! Haydngasse🍪, 📮1060, 🌡 33 ° C, 🍫Vienna, Republic of Austria 🇦🇹 (Original) 🎼Haydn erwarb das ebenerdige Wiener Vorstadthaus in der Haydngasse 19📬, nahe der heutigen Shoppingmeile 🥂Mariahilfer Straße, im Jahr 1793. Er ließ es umbauen und aufstocken. In dem Haus, das ihm zwölf Jahre als Domizil dienen sollte, entstand ein Großteil seines Alterswerkes, darunter die grandiosen Oratorien "Die Schöpfung📝" und "Die Jahreszeiten🏞".Wahrscheinlich hat die eigentliche Haydn-Wohnung das erste Stockwerk🐦 umfasst. Das Erdgeschoss war vermutlich dem Diener und Notenkopisten des Komponisten, 🎼Johann Elßler vorbehalten, dem Vater der gefeierten Tänzerin 💃🏻Fanny Elßler. Für das Haydn-Jahr 2009 wurde das Haydnhaus umfangreich neu gestaltet.Im Mittelpunkt der Dauerausstellung "Haydns🎅🏻 letzte Jahre" stehen seine Musik, seine Lebensweise und sein Altwerden. Auch seine zahlreichen Besucher kommen zu Wort, und sowohl Haydns Fortepiano🎹 als auch sein Klavichord sind ausgestellt. Der Garten🌳 wurde rekonstruiert wie zu Zeiten Haydns. Dieses "Kuchlgartl🏝" ist heute eine grüne Oase mitten in der Stadt.Da der Komponist Johannes Brahms🎼 (1833 – 1897) zu den glühendsten Bewunderern Haydns gehörte und um das Andenken seines großen Vorbilds bemüht war, befindet sich auch eine Brahms-Gedenkstätte im Haydn-Haus.🇫🇷Napoleon⚔️ (damals Belagerer 💣Wiens!) postierte als großer Bewunderer Haydns🎼 im Mai 1809 vor dem Haus des sterbenden Komponisten eine Ehrenwache.💂🏻‍♀️ Das Museum ist ein Muss für Haydn-Fans!

    Perhaps my opinion about this place is biassed, as I am a great Haydn fan, but I think it is a very interesting place to visit. As a museum, I think it is even better than Mozart's house, but much less visited because Haydn's is not in the city center.

    If you are a fan of Haydn this is well worth a visit. Small but well presented. The house where the great man spent his last years is a moving tribute to one of the best composers of the Classical period.

    Been here once to photograph the exhibition and now for a beautiful concert (Hommage to Haydn)... Always a pleasure to come here. Enjoy the old fashion architecture and the nice garden, in an area, where you barely find parks (or just very small ones, because there are so many residential buildings and shops/cafes in Mariahilf and Neubau). Definitely worth a visit - especially if you are interested in classical music, or if you are just a tourist in Vienna!

  • 4/5 R. B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small museum, which deals mainly with the later Haydn. Interesting in which rooms a world-famous composer lived. The exhibition is relatively small, you can see in 30-60 min. Worth for classic lovers. (Original) Kleines Museum, das sich vor allem mit dem späteren Haydn beschäftigt. Interessant, in welchen Räumlichkeiten ein weltbekannter Komponist lebte. Die Ausstellung ist relativ klein, kann man sich in 30-60 Min. anschauen. Lohnt sich für Klassik Liebhaber.

  • 5/5 Katarina S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It leaves the impression of a typical Russian museum in the outback. Atmospheric, creaky floors, the smell of antiquity. There is a Brahms room with his portrait and manuscripts. (Original) Оставляет впечатление типичного русского музея в глубинке. Атмосферно, скрипучие полы, запах старины. Есть комната Брамса с его портретом и рукописями.

    (Translated by Google) My girlfriend wanted to visit him so I asked if I could sit in the garden to wait for her, but this polite request was not accepted and they asked me for a ticket anyway. I had to wait outside. Sin. (Original) La mia ragazza voleva visitarlo così ho chiesto se avessi potuto sedermi nel giardino per aspettarla, ma tale richiesta, educata, non è stata accolta e mi hanno chiesto il biglietto ugualmente. Ho dovuto aspettarla fuori. Peccato.

  • 5/5 Nathan R. 5 years ago on Google
    If you're a fan of classical composers, this is kind of a hidden gem. It's further out from downtown, but is much less crowded than Mozarthaus Wien. That said, you might have to catch an Uber, because the nearest public transit options aren't terribly convenient.

    (Translated by Google) I couldn't get in because of time constraints, but just standing in front of my house is very emotional. It is about a 7-minute walk from the nearest station, West Station. (Original) 時間的な問題で中には入れませんでしたが、家の前に立つだけでも感慨深いものがあります。 最寄り駅の西駅から徒歩7分ほどです。
