German composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) visited Dolná Krupá Mansion on several occasions. He was a friend of the Brunswick family who owned the house and dedicated several of his compositions to them. It is said that Beethoven composed his Moonlight Sonata there.
Today there is a memorial to Beethoven in the Garden Pavilion, while the Mansion itself houses an exhibition which documents the significant European musical personalities who worked in Slovakia.
