Beethoven-Haus Baden, is a museum in Baden bei Wien in Lower Austria. Ludwig van Beethoven stayed here during three summers in the 1820; it is dedicated to the composer, and in particular his Symphony No. 9, on which he worked here during 1823.
Beethoven visited Baden, a spa town, several times,[1] in order to improve his health, living in various lodgings in the town. In 1821, 1822 and 1823 he lived in this house, then known as the Kupferschmiedhaus (coppersmith's house), renting an apartment on the first floor. During his stay in the summer of 1823 he worked on the fourth movement of the Symphony No. 9; the building is known as the Haus der Neunten – "House of the Ninth".[2]
