He Esterházy family rose from obscurity to be one of the richest landholders in the 17th century. The center of their lordship was Csákvár even at that time.
A taste of the exhibition

In the ethnographic division the memories of the potter's craft of Csákvár are displayed. The village used to be the biggest center of the craft in its heydays. In 1833 there were 193; in 1900 131 master craftsmen were turning the potter's disk. The tools, works, and guild memories of four other crafts connected to the potters are shown at the exhibition. The cooking pot made of fire proof glaze, which was ornamented with vertical stripes, was used at the area between the Danube and Tisza, and the Eastern part of the Transdanubian area.

The vernacular furniture, painted chests, tables, benches, and kitchen equipments are also present at the showing.

In the garden of the museum there are three beehives of the so called Mayer-Hives. This type of hive was created by Károly Mayer (1837-1925), the dean of Csákvár. From the old cemetery of Csákvár red marble and freestone tombstones are displayed.
