The venue of the concerts, the island surrounded by the pond in the magnificent garden of Count Brunszvik’s manor house, was picked because –according to the records of that period- Beethoven, who were quite a close friend of the Brunszvik family spent a lot of time here. (Today the manor house contains the Beethoven museum, open Tuesday- Friday: 10am-12am and 2 pm-4 pm, Saturday-Sunday: 10 am-6 pm. )
The Romantic flavour of the manor house and the park provide a brilliant milieu for performing Beethoven’s works.

It’s worth coming well before the concert to visit the park and the museum as well as to listen to the free chamber concerts from 5:45 pm.
