Fabricius House
Fabricius-ház
A Baroque burgher's house on the main square, with Roman ruins and a Gothic vaulted wine cellar below and 18th-century domestic life displays above.
Fabricius House is named after the 17th-century mayor Fabricius and was built on top of Roman-era structures. It is a museum where you can see Sopron's history from the ground up: the basement displays stone carvings and gravestones excavated from the Roman city of Scarbantia, and a medieval Gothic vaulted wine cellar survives in good condition. The upper floors have been recreated as the living rooms, kitchens and furniture of wealthy 17th- and 18th-century townspeople. The collection is modest, but the building itself is interesting, making it a good stop for lovers of archaeology and old houses. A combined museum ticket is available, and the museum is usually closed on Mondays.
