Beethoven stayed in Heiligenstadt on several occasions including the autumn of 1802 while working on his Second Symphony. He wrote his "Heiligenstadt Testament", a letter to his brothers Carl and Johann which he never sent, at 6 Probusgasse. The house is under the administration of the Vienna City Historical Museum. In 1817 he was once more living in Heiligenstadt, this time at 2 Pfarrplatz, where he worked on his Pastoral Symphony.
