Entrance Archway to Schloss Grafenegg

Highlight • Monument

Grafenegg Castle is an architectural gem of Romantic historicism with roots in the 15th century. Surrounded by a 32-hectare castle park and known for the international Grafenegg Music Festival, the ensemble combines culture, history, and nature. For cyclists, the castle offers a charming stopover on a tour through the Weinviertel region—with the opportunity to stroll, relax, or attend a concert.

Auditorium, Grafenegg Castle
Since its inauguration with Schubert's "Unfinished" in 2008, the auditorium has contributed to the special atmosphere in Grafenegg. Located between the classicist riding school, which will also house the Rudolf Buchbinder Hall in the future, and the tavern, it blends into the historical backdrop and enriches the entire area.
The magnificent sound space, which is characterized by excellent acoustics, offers space for 1,300 visitors, making it an ideal concert venue all year round.

Wolkenturm

Highlight • Monument

Cloud Tower, Grafenegg Castle
The completion of the Cloud Tower in 2007 marked the beginning of the Grafenegg Festival. The award-winning open-air stage, a mix of concrete, steel and glass, has one of the best acoustics in Europe and offers 1,700 seats for visitors as well as a further 400 lawn spaces on the adjacent hills.
The architectural complex rises to become a monument in the extensive garden landscape and, with its spatial openings, creates an exciting connection between nature and the building. Depending on which direction you approach from, the shape and appearance change and merge seamlessly into the existing landscape. The paths in the park are designed in such a way that new perspectives constantly emerge as you walk through them.

Grafenegg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Grafenegg Castle
The castle is rich in historical evidence and its origins date back to 1435. From then on, it underwent several metamorphoses over the centuries until it finally became the Tudor-style castle that we see today. Count Breuner-Eckevoirt, a lover of architecture, had the Renaissance castle rebuilt in the 19th century in the style of romantic historicism. Today, the castle is owned by the Metternich-Sándor family, who have restored the castle with the support of the state of Lower Austria.
