The Neptune Fountain in Schönbrunn Palace Gardens was built between 1776 and 1780 based on designs by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg and executed by the sculptor Wilhelm Beyer. As a monumental culmination of the main avenue, its rich figuration of Neptune, Tritons, Nereids, and seahorses forms a central showpiece of the Baroque gardens. In addition to its decorative effect, the fountain also embodies a symbol of power: Neptune, ruler of the seas, reflects the power claims of the House of Habsburg, making the fountain one of the most significant focal points of Schönbrunn Park to this day.

The Hermesvilla in the Lainz Tiergarten is an elegant, historic palace that once served as a summer residence for Empress Elisabeth. Surrounded by expansive parkland and idyllic forest paths, the villa combines cultural history with a natural experience. Today, it houses a museum offering fascinating insights into the life of the Empress and the history of the Vienna Woods. A visit to the Hermesvilla is a perfect stopover for anyone who wants to combine history, art, and nature on their tour of the Tiergarten.

The imperial rulers of the Habsburg Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary also welcomed the use of figures from Roman and Greek mythology, popular in art history, for the artistic decoration of palaces and parks – whether as paintings or, as here, as statues. From the rich world of gods, Neptune was often depicted – especially in connection with springs, ponds, fountains, and other bodies of water. After all, mythology assigned him the status of god of the sea, which, incidentally, corresponds to Poseidon in Greek mythology.

Impressive ancestral castle of the Liechtenstein family. The tour is highly recommended, and admission is included in the NÖ Card.

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.
