Liszt Birthplace Raiding
Liszt-Haus Raiding
A memorial museum in the cottage where pianist Franz Liszt was born, next to the Liszt Concert Hall, renowned for its all-wood interior.
Raiding is a small village in the Austrian state of Burgenland. In 1811, Franz Liszt was born in the estate steward's house of the Esterházy family estate. The birthplace displays the organ, scores, letters and biographical materials connected with Liszt. Next door, the Liszt Concert Hall, completed in 2006, is famous for its all-wood interior and hosts the annual Liszt Festival. The birthplace is closed in winter, and in summer it is often closed on Mondays, so check the official website before you go. Raiding is about 25 kilometers from Sopron, with no convenient bus connection, so driving is recommended. Carry your passport for the border crossing into Austria.
