Palm House at Schönbrunn Palace

Highlight • Monument

The beautiful palm house stands away from the large crowds that crowd around the castle. Here you can admire many types of tropical plants and trees. Incidentally, it is the largest of its kind on mainland Europe.

Special highlights in the Palmenhaus Schönbrunn are the palm trees up to 23 meters high and the largest water lily in the world, which blooms in spring and summer. You can find more information at schoenbrunn.at/ueber-schoenbrunn/schlosspark/rundgang/palmenhaus.

Schönbrunn Palace

Highlight • Castle

Probably the most popular sight in Vienna and not without reason. The palace complex with the extensive park, which visitors and locals like to use for walking and jogging, is simply fantastic. The building is fascinating not only from the outside, but also from the inside. The splendor of the rooms in the former Habsburg residence is incredible. Even a color was named after the castle: the Schönbrunn yellow.

All information is available at schoenbrunn.at.

Neptune Fountain at Schönbrunn Palace

Highlight • Monument

Neptune Fountain, built between 1778 and 1780, Schönbrunn Palace
At the end of the Great Parterre and at the foot of the mountain slope rises the Neptune Fountain, which was part of the overall garden design concept from the 1770s commissioned by Maria Theresa.
Under the direction of the court architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg, excavations for the basin began in 1776 and after four years of construction, the fountain was completed before the monarch died. The design most likely came from J. F. Hetzendorf von Hohenberg, the figural group made of Sterzing marble was created by Wilhelm Beyer. A retaining wall swinging back against the mountain slope, which is provided with a balustrade decorated with vases, forms the back wall of the huge fountain basin.

Obelisk Fountain (Obeliskbrunnen), Schönbrunn Palace Gardens

Highlight • Monument

Obelisk Fountain, Schönbrunn Palace
The obelisk fountain, located at the foot of the Schönbrunner Berg, forms the visual accent at the end of the eastern diagonal avenue. Alongside the Gloriette and the Menagerie, it is one of the most important focal points of the garden axes. Like the other garden objects, this fountain was designed by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg and built in 1777. The sculptural work was carried out by Benedikt Henrici, partly based on designs by Wilhelm Beyer.
