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 venue for contemporary art.

It is a very well-kept park. The flowerbeds bloom all summer long, which is great.
