Schloss Schönau

Schloss Schönau – A Former Habsburg Residence Surrounded by a Protected Historic Landscaped Park.

Now privately owned, Schloss Schönau – once a residence of the Habsburg dynasty – has been lovingly restored after years of decay. The revitalized palace and its enchanting, monument protected park are now open to the public on an exclusive and limited basis. Enjoy a truly special getaway, rent the entire estate for a private celebration – such as your wedding – or host an exquisite meeting with your most valued business partners.

The Temple of the Night – a globally unique Masonic garden grotto – invites you to an unforgettable experience. There is so much to discover at Schloss Schönau. Experience something extraordinary on holiday: Unwind in a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by the grandeur and historical significance of the landscaped park. Make time for what truly matters: Peace, restoration, and a sense of well-being await just 30 kilometers south of Vienna, near the spa town of Baden.

An exclusive hideaway in every season: The carefully restored suites in the palace and the charming hunting lodge offer complete privacy – access to the vast park grounds is reserved for guests only. Emperors, kings, princes, and archdukes once cherished this magical place:

King Jérôme Bonaparte spent his exile here, Emperor Karl celebrated his 18th birthday at the palace, and the “Red Archduchess” held her spiritual séances in the hunting lodge. Today, Schloss Schönau offers you bespoke luxury in four private apartments in the Jagdhaus (hunting lodge) and five refined suites within the palace itself.
