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. Text / Source: Schloss Hof, 2294 Schloßhof 1 https://www.schlosshof.at/ueber-schloss-hof/garten

Neptune Fountain, Schloss Hof The original fountain, dating from the time of Prince Eugene, was demolished in the 19th century. The reconstructed structure is missing the most important group of figures, Neptune with a dolphin, which has been lost. The groups on the sides of the fountain depict the fight between Hercules and Antaeus, in which the ancient hero defeats his opponent through strength and cleverness. This motif was often used as a reference to the princely virtues of the castle owner.

Saved from decay!!, Hof Castle After the end of the Habsburg monarchy, the property became state property. Little changed for Hof Castle. It remained under military administration, only the soldiers' uniforms changed. After the Imperial and Royal Cavalry, the Austrian Federal Army moved in, then the German Wehrmacht and finally, in 1945, the soldiers of the Red Army. Major restoration and restoration work in the Hof and Niederweiden castles, which had already fallen into disrepair at that time, took place on the occasion of the Lower Austrian State Exhibition "Prince Eugene and Baroque Austria" in 1986. Extensive renovation work and the restoration of the two castles began in 2002, when the Marchfeldschlösser Revitalisierungs- und Betriebsges.m.b.H. was founded. This was incorporated into the Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H. in 2015. Text / Source: Schloss Hof, 2294 Schloßhof 1 https://www.schlosshof.at/ueber-schloss-hof/geschichte
