The Hofburg Vienna, historically also known as the Imperial Castle or Vienna Castle, was the residence of the Habsburgs in Vienna from 1279 to 1918 (with interruptions). Today, it is the seat of the Federal President, the Federal Monuments Office, the Austrian National Library, and several federal museums. The complex, which grew over the course of approximately seven centuries, covers a usable area of approximately 24 hectares, making it the largest secular building complex in the world. The site also includes two religious buildings: the Hofburg Chapel and the Augustinian Church. Including the museums beyond the Ringstrasse – the Natural History Museum, the Art History Museum, and the MuseumsQuartier – the total area is approximately 50 hectares. The Hofburg received its current appearance from the Imperial Forum, begun by Gottfried Semper and Carl von Hasenauer but left unfinished after the death of Franz Joseph I. Around 5,000 people live or work on the Hofburg grounds, which, together with Heldenplatz, are visited by around 20 million people annually. The Hofburg is owned by the Republic of Austria and administered by the Burghauptmannschaft (Austrian Burg Administration).

Leopoldsberg Castle is a historic ruin on the hill of the same name in the Vienna Woods. Dating back to the 12th century, it now offers—along with the remains of the old castle—one of the most beautiful views over Vienna and the Danube. 🏰🌄

Belvedere Museum Vienna | 300 years of the Belvedere In 2023, the Belvedere will celebrate the 300th anniversary of its construction. The summer residence of Vienna's most famous general, Prince Eugene of Savoy, was built over a period of ten years: in 1723, the complex was finally completed with the completion of the Upper Palace. Conceived from the outset as a place of art, the Belvedere was to remain so for the next 300 years - first as a place for the presentation of Prince Eugene's art collection, then as an exhibition space for the imperial art collections as one of the first public museums in the world - accessible with free admission from 1777. Another milestone was the founding of the Modern Gallery in 1903 in the Lower Belvedere. Text / Source: Belvedere, Prinz Eugen-Straße 27, 1030 Vienna https://www.belvedere.at/300-jahre-belvedere

History of the Belvedere The unique ensemble with the two palaces, the Upper and Lower Belvedere, and the extensive garden is one of the most beautiful baroque buildings in the world. In the 18th century, the Austrian general Prince Eugene of Savoy commissioned the respected baroque architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt to build a summer residence. After Prince Eugene's death, Maria Theresa acquired the entire complex and made the Upper Belvedere the exhibition venue for the imperial collections - and thus one of the first public museums in the world. The Marble Hall offers an incomparable view of Vienna, where important historical events took place. The Lower Belvedere, originally Prince Eugene's home, hosts glamorous exhibitions. The modern pavilion of Belvedere 21 by architect Karl Schwanzer is the setting for contemporary art.
