The famous historical palace complex comprises the Upper Belvedere including its art exhibition, the Lower Belvedere and Orangery, and the Palace Stables, embedded in a Baroque-style park complex. Built by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt by order of Prince Eugene of Savoy, the Upper Belvedere became particularly important in 1955 when the Austrian State Treaty was signed here.
The complex in Vienna’s Landstraße district is also open during the winter and is a popular destination for both national and international guests, primarily due to its art exhibition. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The collection is considered to be the most significant collection of Austrian art from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Garden complex:
Upper Belvedere: Baroque park landscape and view of Vienna
The art exhibition in the Upper Belvedere includes the largest exhibition of Gustav Klimt paintings in the world. When stepping outside of the state hall, you will be rewarded with a beautiful Baroque park landscape and a view of Vienna. The building was used as a residential palace by Prince Eugene and he also knew well how to enjoy it. Above all during warmer seasons, the garden blooms in all its glory. Sculptures dealing with rising from the Underworld to Mount Olympus further complement the atmosphere.
Lower Belvedere Vienna
Following the trail of Prince Eugene, stroll through the historical, slightly hilly complex which is located next to Schwarzenbergplatz. Visitors primarily come here for the Orangery, the wall and ceiling paintings, and the Palace Stables. The Marble Hall is considered the centre of the Lower Belvedere with a copy of the Mehlmarktbrunnen fountain by Georg Raphael Donner.
