Baroque Garden - The revitalization of the Baroque Garden, Schloss Hof
After 15 years of detailed reconstruction, the garden in Schloss Hof can now be experienced by our guests in its 18th century appearance right down to the last terrace! We have accompanied this journey for you and provide insights into the exciting period of restoration work.
With the restoration of the seventh garden terrace in 2019 and the completed reconstruction of the Great Cascade in 2018, the 15-hectare Baroque Garden of Schloss Hof can once again be experienced in its entirety as it was in the 18th century.

Baroque Garden - The Garden Paradise, Hof Castle
The area sloping down to the March lowlands to the east of the castle was predestined to create a garden based on the French model simply because of its location.
In just a few years, Prince Eugene had the architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt and the garden engineer Anton Zinner create one of the most important gardens in the German-speaking world on a total of seven terraces. The vertical central axis, along which there are numerous fountains, divides the garden into two mirror-image areas on each level.
A well-thought-out sculpture program created by the sculptor Johann Christoph Mader pays homage to the lord of the castle, Prince Eugene. The water required to operate the fountains and to supply the plants was derived from three ponds in the nearest village of Groißenbrunn.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the garden gradually fell into disrepair. The three paintings by Bernardo Belotto, known as Canaletto, were one of the most important sources for the gradual reconstruction of the individual terrace areas since 2002. These views of the palace complex were created on Maria Theresa's commission around 1760.

The originally steep slope towards the March lowlands to the east offered Prinz Eugen ideal terrain to build a garden based on the French model. Within a few years, Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt and the garden engineer Anton Zinner created one of the most important gardens in German-speaking countries. The vertical central axis with its fountain divides the garden on each terrace into two mirror-image areas.
A well thought-out sculpture program by the sculptor Johann Christoph Mader pays homage to the former lord of the castle, Prince Eugen. The amount of water required for the wells and for watering the plants was derived from ponds in Groißenbrunn, 3 kilometers away.
