Other Event Locations

In the eighteenth century, the military commander Prince Eugene of Savoy commissioned the architect Johann Lukas von Hildenbrand to build a prestigious country seat. The magnificent Baroque ensemble of the Schloss Hof Estate took shape and since then became the popular meeting point for VIPs, science and politics, and a stage for fashionable feasts – a Baroque top location. Also today, the palace, the gardens and the estate farm provide a setting imbued with a fascinating aura of past and present for events of every kind!

Within the space of a few years, one of the most important Baroque gardens in the German-speaking regions was hewn out of the steep slope descending to the lowland of the river March. The seven terraces with their fountains and the idyllic estate farm gardens unfold a portion of nature around the palace that is also art.

The Schloss Hof palace was the scene for the wedding ceremony for one of the happiest marriages in the House of Habsburg, between Maria Christine, Empress Maria Theresa’s favourite daughter, and the love of her life, Prince Albert of Saxe-Teschen. A wonderful omen for plighting your troth for life in the romantic palace chapel, the gorgeous banqueting hall and the imposing Orangery.
