Lonely Planet review

Franz Schubert spent his dying days, from 1 September to 10 November 1828 in this, his brother's apartment. Even on his death bed (he either died of typhoid fever from drinking infected water, or syphilis) he still managed to compose a string of piano sonatas and his last work, Der Hirt auf dem Felsen (The Shepherd on the Rock). The apartment has few personal effects but somewhat documents his final days as well as his funeral.
