Who it's for
Adults and teenagers

A hunting lodge that Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, the architect of Schönbrunn, drew in 1693, playing with three shapes: the oval, the rectangle and the square. Prince Eugene bought it in 1726 and joined it to Schloss Hof; Maria Theresa remodelled it after 1765, with rooms lined with Chinese paper and an oval room painted by Jean-Baptiste Pillement. It is about 3 km from Schloss Hof, among fields. Its café is closed for now: check the Schloss Hof website to see whether the interior is open on the day you go.
