The family Esterházy was among the most famous aristocratic families of Hungary, if not the most famous one.They had the rank of princes.Until the takeover by the Communists (1945), the family was the largest landowner in Hungary.
They had many palaces of which several were in Vienna.You already received the link to a picture of their palace in Csakvár.On the following link you can see a picture of Moric:http://de.esterhazy.net/index.php?title=I402http://de.esterhazy.net/index.php?title=I402
The family Lobkowicz, also spelled Lobkowitz, was probably as famous in their native Bohemia (today's Czech Republic) as the Esterházys were in Hungary.They also had the rank of princes.
I am certain that few family lineages could be as well documented as these two.You just need to persist in your pursuit.
