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

Owned by the Habsburgs - Maria Theresa's widow's residence, Hof Palace Shortly after the purchase, minor adaptations began in the palace: Prince Eugene's private rooms now served the imperial couple and were refurnished for this purpose. Until his death in 1765, Emperor Franz Stephan spent a few weeks at Hof Palace every year to hunt or to "lighten the soul of the burden of ruling" with Maria Theresa and the children, as an inscription on the palace's garden-side façade states. Far-reaching changes were made to the palace in the 1770s by the imperial court architect Franz Anton Hillebrandt. The building was raised by one floor to create additional guest rooms. The rooms on the main floor were redesigned in the classicist style. Maria Theresa, who had since become a widow, had an apartment furnished in predominantly grey and white in the south wing. This phase of renovation gave the palace its current appearance. A palace as a training facility for the k.k. Army After Maria Theresa's death in 1780, the following generations showed little interest in their Marchfeld summer residence and increasingly left it to the influences of nature. In 1898, Emperor Franz Joseph decided to hand the complex over to the army administration in order to set up a riding and driving training institute. Before the military moved in, most of the art objects such as furniture, garden sculptures and wrought iron gates were transported to Vienna in 200 wagons and formed a rich fund for the furnishing of other imperial palaces over the next two decades. The most striking change in Schloss Hof during this time was the construction of two new riding halls on the first terrace.
