Welcome to the joie de vivre of the baroque world! Only an hour's drive from Vienna in the eastern “Marchfeld” you will find Schloss Hof. This palace is a Gesamtkunstwerk and covers more than 120 acres of land. The former Imperial country residence was one of the most glorious palaces in the Habsburg lands. In 1726 it was acquired by the legendary general Prince Eugene of Savoy who had it completely redesigned so that it later became the largest country palace estate under the reign of the Empress Maria Theresia. Imperial glory and rural idyll come together as a unique combination of an aristocratic palace, a magnificent terraced garden and a tranquil estate farm. Even in Eugene's time Schloss Hof was widely known as a place of splendid occasions, and today we continue this tradition of opulent entertainment with numerous festivities and events.
Schönbrunn Palace is a World Cultural Heritage site and Austria's most-visited sight. The baroque total work of art consisting of palace and gardens was for centuries the property of the Habsburgs and is today largely in its original condition. Visitors will find numerous attractions here, from a tour through the authentically furnished residential and ceremonial rooms of the Imperial Family in the palace, to the maze and the labyrinth in the gardens and a separate Children's Museum.
The 21 November 2016 will mark the centenary of the death of Emperor Franz Joseph, who ruled over the Habsburg Monarchy for sixty-eight years. This exhibition will take a critical approach to exploring the personality of the emperor. Divided into a number of different focal themes, this large-scale temporary exhibition will take place in four different locations in Vienna and Lower Austria.
The World of the Habsburgs is a virutal exhibition showcasing the history of the Habsburgs and their times. More than a thousand images accompanied by multimedia presentation of texts, maps, a genealogical table and a navigalbe timeline, will open up completely new contexts and connections.
