Lonely Planet review for Fabricius House

Across the square in which the Firewatch Tower stands is Fabricius House, containing exhibits of the Sopron Museum. Of particular interest are the urban flats (polgári lakások) on the upper floors, with rooms devoted to domestic life in Sopron in the 17th and 18th centuries. There are a few kitchen mock-ups and exhibits explaining how people made their beds and washed their dishes in those days, but the highlights are the rooms facing the square that are crammed with priceless antique furniture.

The lower floors have an archaeological exhibition covering Celtic, Roman and Hungarian periods of history. Scarbantia-era statues reconstructed from fragments found in the area (including enormous statues of Juno, Jupiter and Minerva), guard the lapidarium (kőtar) in the cellar of house No 7 (which is between Fabricius House and Storno House), once a Gothic chapel with vaulted ceilings 15m high. Entrance is included in the admission price.
