Exploring Burgenland, Part III: A Visit to Oberdorf im Burgenland and a look at St. Anne’s Church, the Erdődy Family’s Feudal Rotenturm Estate, and the Peasant Lifestyle in Hungary
In which I describe our visit to Oberdorf, Austria, birthplace of my great grandmother Anna Halper; our tour of Oberdorf’s St. Anne’s Church; and some history of the Erdődy family, who were the feudal landlords over the area, and the life of peasants in that part of Hungary back in the 1700-1800’s.
