Franz Joseph Haydn - his complete name - was born in this house. The chronicle notes: "Matthias Haiden, local wheelwright at Rohrau and wife Anna Maria."

Haydn’s mother, Anna Maria, née Koller, worked as a cook for Count Harrach who had possessions at Rohrau. Franz Joseph, the second of 12 children, was the eldest of 3 surviving boys.
