Cloud Tower, Grafenegg Castle
The completion of the Cloud Tower in 2007 marked the beginning of the Grafenegg Festival. The award-winning open-air stage, a mix of concrete, steel and glass, has one of the best acoustics in Europe and offers 1,700 seats for visitors as well as a further 400 lawn spaces on the adjacent hills.
The architectural complex rises to become a monument in the extensive garden landscape and, with its spatial openings, creates an exciting connection between nature and the building. Depending on which direction you approach from, the shape and appearance change and merge seamlessly into the existing landscape. The paths in the park are designed in such a way that new perspectives constantly emerge as you walk through them.

Cloud Tower, Grafenegg Castle (Part 2)
In contrast to a concert hall, which is almost isolated from the outside, external influences such as birdsong from the castle park can be heard at open-air concerts. At the same time, the Cloud Tower uses tried-and-tested acoustic principles to create the perfect sound: the design directs the sound in a bundled manner to the amphitheater-like grandstand, thereby achieving high sound quality while minimizing noise.

In addition to the design, the renowned acoustician Karlheinz Müller has used modern technologies to offer optimal sound enjoyment even in the back rows. The stage area under the Cloud Tower itself also serves as an instrument to capture the sound, bundle it and pass it on to the audience. In addition, the seats are arranged in such a way that they offer an optimal view, which gives the place a pleasant intimacy. The location in the middle of nature - often at sunset during the evening concerts - creates an exceptionally atmospheric setting for the concerts. Surrounded by the expansive landscape and a picturesque sky, the grass areas on both sides of the stands offer the special experience of enjoying a concert sitting on a picnic blanket.

A landmark for the perfect sound in an ideal setting. Along with the historic castle, the cloud tower itself has long since become a modern symbol of Grafenegg. A unique open-air stage that hosts the world's greatest orchestras. An architectural and acoustic masterpiece that attracts international music and architecture fans. The cloud tower offers 1,700 seats and 400 grass pitches and is the central venue for the summer concerts and the Grafenegg Festival. In the event of bad weather, the cloud tower concerts will be moved to the auditorium. There is an alternative seat in the auditorium for category 1 to 6 ticket holders. A video transmission is offered in the riding school for tickets in category 7 and grass courts.
