The building
Marble Hall
The two-story marble hall was originally used for the official reception of guests. The wall decoration with war trophies and depictions of prisoners refers to Prince Eugene's great successes as imperial commander-in-chief. The ceiling fresco by Martino Altomonte shows Apollo in the sun chariot.
Marble Gallery
The marble gallery with direct access to the chamber garden is also a former representation room of Prince Eugene. The room is divided by three antique statues. Stuccoed war trophies on the walls refer to Prince Eugene's military successes. The ceiling reliefs represent his apotheosis.
Grotesque Hall
In early 18th century Vienna, grotesque paintings were very popular as decorations for sale terrene and garden pavilions. The four seasons are depicted on the ceiling of the Grotesque Hall and the four elements in the corners. The windowless walls show the forge of Vulcan and the Three Graces, embodiments of the principles of masculinity and femininity. The paintings are largely preserved in their original form.
The Gold Cabinet
Maria Theresa had this room adapted and converted into a gold cabinet with mirrors and porcelain. The gold cabinet has remained completely unchanged since 1765.
Orangery
The Orangery was originally a heated winter garden for orange trees. After Prince Eugene's death, the plants were moved to the Pomeranzenhaus in Schönbrunn; the building was used as a stable. Since 2007, the interior of the Orangery has been designed as a modern exhibition hall in the form of a white cube.
Stately Stable
The name of this building comes from its former use: Prince Eugene's personal horses were housed here. Today, valuable works of art from the Medieval Collection are presented in the state stables.
