Eggenberg House is one of the historic houses that rewards slow wandering in Sopron's old centre. Its importance is not just architectural: in the 17th century, its courtyard was used by local Protestants for worship when public religious life was tightly controlled.
The building is a small stop, but Sopron is built from small stops. Look for it while tracing the lanes around the Firewatch Tower and the medieval core; it helps explain why the town's beauty is not only in monuments, but in layered civic houses.
