Mozart’s birthplace

Mozart’s birthplace

Mozart’s birthplace is located in the center of Salzburg. The building was first built in 1617. Mozart’s parent’s Leopold and Anna Maria lived on the third floor of the house. A friend of the family Johann Lorenz Hagenauer owned the house and so it is also known as the Hagenauer house. Mozart was born on January 27th in 1756 and had a sister named Nannerl born in 1751. The family lived there until 1773. The house had 5 rooms, a kitchen, chamber, living room, bedroom, and a workroom. In 1880, the international Mozart Foundation created the first Mozart museum. Visitors can see Mozart’s instruments like his Piano and Violin, furniture from his time, items that Mozart would have used daily, documents, letters, and portraits.
