Allow me some pedantry.  It's not a Heurige and it never was.  The
Heiligenstadt-Haus where Beethoven wrote his testament, is still a museum
as it also was fifteen years ago.  But there's a Heurige a few steps
down the street in a house (Pfarrplatz) where Beethoven at least once
spent a summer holiday.
