Schloss Hof

Yet even more impressive than the palace and its estate farm is the incomparable garden extending from the western gate over seven terraces to the eastern gate. The most delightful flowers bloom in the reflections of the unique water cascades and in the broderie beds of the terrace gardens. This garden world on the Danube is arguably unmatched by any other in the world.

The arias of the Baroque opera stars still resonate in the state rooms of the palace, courted by paintings and artworks by the most famous artists of the day. As if these venerable walls could speak, visitors find themselves transported to a magnificent world filled with the Baroque zest for life, the frivolous joy of being alive, and extravagant celebrations in a splendid natural setting. Prince Eugene would probably have enjoyed personally showing visitors this unique microcosm of floral grandeur, historical exceptionalism, and stately decadence.
