Information

At the end of the 17th century Emperor Leopold I commissioned the giftet Baroque architect Bernhard Fischer von Erlach to built a palatial hunting lodge for the heir ot the throne. On the side of the old imperial château de plaisance a splendid edifice was to arise.

Half a century later under Maria Theresa Schönbrunn Palace was to become the magnificent focus of court life. From that time onwards it played host to the leading statesmen of Europe. Although Austria is now a republic, Schönbrunn has remained a place of political encounter at the highest level.

The magnificent architecture and the exquisite décor of its state rooms marks Schönbrunn out as a cultural treasure and tourist attraction of the first water.
