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.

The Hermesvilla is located in the middle of the former imperial hunting grounds Lainzer Tiergarten - a 2600 hectare nature reserve on the outskirts of Vienna, which is a popular destination for young and old with its extensive green areas and unique vantage points.

The Mödling castle ruins are a former hilltop castle in the Vienna Woods. In the Middle Ages, it was one of the largest castle complexes in today's Lower Austria and was for some time the seat of the Dukes of Mödling, a branch of the Babenberg family. After that it lost its importance. In the 16th century it fell into ruins before being rebuilt in the Romantic style at the beginning of the 19th century. Even in the 19th century, this second castle also began to fall into disrepair. Today the ruins belong to the municipality of Mödling and are a popular destination and a visually appealing attraction in the "Föhrenberge" nature park.
