Tour through the park (2024)

Great Parterre

In keeping with the principles of Baroque horticultural design, gardens were an expression of a ruler’s status and as such were as a rule related to the architecture of the palace, being an extension of its magnificent interiors.

Statues in the Great Parterre

When the hill at Schönbrunn was landscaped it was decided to redesign the Great Parterre at the same time.

Rhea Kybele

Also the boskets were decorated with statues by Christian Willhelm Beyer and Johann Baptist Hagenauer.

Franz Stephan

One year after the sudden death of Franz Stephan in 1765, Maria Theresa commissioned a bronze bust of her much-loved husband.

Joseph II

In 1810 a monument was erected to Joseph II.

The Family Monument

Commissioned from Franz Thaler in 1802.

Maze

The Maze at Schönbrunn was laid out around 1720 and originally had four quadrants with a central (probably elevated) pavilion.

Neptune Fountain

Designed as the crowning element of the Great Parterre, and sited at the foot of the hill behind the palace is the Neptune Fountain, which was conceived as part of the overall design of the gardens and park commissioned by Maria Theresa in the 1770s.

Gloriette

The Early Classicistic colonnaded Gloriette was built to Hohenberg's designs on the crest of the hill in 1775.

Small Gloriette

Situated in the middle of the wooded hillside on the eastern side of the park is the Small Gloriette, a tower-like, two-story pavilion built between 1755 and 1772 and probably based on a design by court architect Nikolaus Pacassi.

Obelisk Fountain

Also situated at the foot of Schönbrunn Hill, the Obelisk Fountain constitutes the visual focus at the end of the eastern diagonal avenue, and together with the Gloriette and the Zoo is one of the most important focal points in the gardens.

Roman Ruin

Originally called the Ruin of Carthage, the Roman Ruin stands at the foot of the wooded slopes of Schönbrunn Hill.

Schönbrunner Bad

Columbary

Built at some time between 1750 and 1776, the Columbary or dovecote is a tall, circular aviary constructed of wire mesh with a dome-like copper roof crowned by a lantern-like structure. Four walled alcoves were added to provide the doves with roosting space.

Fair Spring

Tucked into the corner of a hedged walk on the Meidling (east) side of the park is the Fair Spring. The first well house on this site is thought to have been built by the court gardener Adrian van Steckhoven, but this was replaced by a new structure designed by court architect Isidor Canevale in 1771.

Angel Fountain

The Angel Fountain is probably one of the sculptural features with which the park as a whole was provided around 1777.

Parade Court Fountains

The group of figures in the western basin were made by Franz Anton Zauner and represent the rivers Danube, Inn and Enns.

Naiad Fountains

At the intersection of each of the two stelliform systems of avenues on either side of the park at Schönbrunn is a rondeau or circular open space containing at its centre a pool with sculptural figures known as the Naiad Fountain.

Privy Garden

Meidling Privy Gardens: Crown Prince Garden and the Garden on the Cellar - Dating to around 1745/50, the plans for the laying out of the Meidling Privy Gardens were probably drawn up by the Lotharingian garden designer Louis Gervais.

Orangery

As far back as the time of the dowager empress Wilhelmine Amalie an orangery garden was established at Schönbrunn which included a hothouse for overwintering the tender citrus trees. In 1754 Franz I Stephan instigated the building of the Orangery by Nikolaus Pacassi, probably to designs by Nicolas Jadot.

Apothekertrakt

Carriage Museum

In 1922 the most important part of the collection of carriages used by the imperial family and Viennese court, including state coaches, ceremonial and gala carriages, sleighs and sedan chairs, was transferred from the imperial court stables at the Vienna Hofburg (part of today’s Museumsquartier) to Schönbrunn and housed in the former winter riding school which had been specially adapted for this purpose.

Zoo

Like the Dutch Botanical Garden at Schönbrunn, the Menagerie was originally founded by Emperor Franz I Stephan, who had a profound interest in natural history.

Palm House

The Palm House is located on the site of the former Dutch Botanical Garden and was erected in 1881/2 to designs by Franz Xaver Segenschmid.

Desert House

Emperor Franz Joseph I commissioned a hothouse based on designs by the architect Alfons Custodis for the overwintering of his extensive and extremely valuable ‘New Holland Collection’, mainly containing botanical specimens from Australia and South Africa.

Palm House Garden and Botanic Garden

In 1753, Maria Theresa’s husband, Emperor Franz I Stephan, who was a keen amateur natural scientist, bought a neglected enclosed field from the neighbouring village of Hietzing, on which he had a ‘Dutch Botanical Garden’ laid out.

Panoramabahn

The grounds of Schönbrunn, a World Heritage Site, cover 160 hectares. Visitors can ride in comfort to all of its attractions on the diesel-powered Schönbrunn Panorama Train.
