Event facilities at Schönau Castle
If you also appreciate something special, Schönau Castle is the ideal location for your wedding, birthday party, family celebration, company party, seminar, conference, coaching session or Christmas party - the place that Emperor Franz Josef gave to his favorite granddaughter Elisabeth, the later "Red Archduchess", and where Emperor Karl spent part of his childhood.
Only 25 kilometers south of Vienna, nestled in one of the most beautiful English landscape gardens in Austria, you will find the perfect location for every occasion in exclusive rooms.
Our castle grounds offer you a wide range of possibilities to organize your family and company events exactly as you wish...
As we want to take plenty of time for you, visits are only possible by prior appointment. We will be happy to make you an individual offer.
Guided tours of the castle park and the Temple of the Night
Around 1800, Baron Peter von Braun built the Temple of the Night in the middle of the palace park, a unique garden grotto designed largely as an underground labyrinth. Renowned artists such as Salieri and Cherubini composed their own pieces of music for the grotto. The temple is also closely linked to the mythology of The Magic Flute - its original performance is said to have taken place here. Immerse yourself in the mystical corridors of the Temple of the Night on a guided tour!
We look forward to welcoming you to Austria's smallest castle hotel soon!
