THE ESTERHÁZY COLLECTION |
|
|
|
|
Some 300 years ago Prince Paul Esterházy de Galántha established an entailed estate under primogeniture and laid the foundations for a series of collections which are today among the finest treasures of European culture.
Like his father, Count Nikolaus, Prince Paul I was not only the ruler of a "fairy kingdom" but also a generous patron and a passionate art collector. His cultural estate was an expression of power, dignity, princely representation and religious feeling.
