The Gatterburg House, home to the Grand Lodge of Austria, has been in continuous use as a Masonic building since the 18th century. Franz Joseph Haydn, the composer known as the "Father of the Symphony" was a member of Zur Wahren Eintrach ("True Concord") Lodge here, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a frequent visitor. Ignaz von Born, the leading scientist in the Holy Roman Empire, Master of the Lodge, lived and died in the building.
