The Esterházy Palace on the banks of the Öreg-tó in Tata (German name: Totis) is the work of Jakab Fellner, the well-known local architect. The young architect, who was based in Tata, was fundamentally recognized and in demand thanks to this building.

The Tata domain often served as the scene of major global political decisions. Among other things, Emperor Franz I signed the so-called Peace of Schönbrunn here in 1809 while fleeing from Napoleon.

The palace, built in the middle of the 18th century, shone in the following centuries with its magnificent furnishings: the festive dining room with gilded wood paneling and the bathrooms, which with their marble and Dutch tiles were already considered a curiosity a hundred years ago.

Also worth mentioning are the wall paintings in Eszterháza Palace, now in Fertöd, which can be seen as a close connection between the count and princely Forchtenstein branch of the family.

The manor and castle were expropriated free of charge by the then communist regime in 1946 as part of the land reform. After the war, the castle served the district as a mental hospital.

The castle is open to interested visitors.
