Museum and walk · 1 h 30 · Samson Wertheimer's private synagogue and two Jewish cemeteries · May to October

For more than 250 years Eisenstadt had an important Jewish community under the protection of the Esterházys, in a quarter of its own beside the palace. The Austrian Jewish Museum, the first founded in the country after 1945, occupies Samson Wertheimer's house in the old Jewish quarter. Inside is preserved his private synagogue, the oldest in Austria that still serves its purpose. From here you can visit the streets of the old quarter and the two Jewish cemeteries. It is open from 2 May to 26 October, Sunday to Thursday from 10:00 to 17:00 (last entry 16:15); it is closed on Fridays, Saturdays and Jewish holidays.
