Lower Belvedere
Step into the private quarters and exquisite gardens of Prince Eugene of Savoy.
Imperial Privacy & Special Exhibitions
While the Upper Belvedere was designed for representative purposes, the **Lower Belvedere** served as the residential palace of Prince Eugene. Today, its historic state rooms—including the Marble Gallery and the Gold Cabinet—provide a stunning backdrop for major temporary exhibitions.
Visitors can explore the **Orangery**, which once housed the Prince's collection of exotic plants and now hosts contemporary art showcases, and the **Palace Stables**, where medieval art finds a unique sanctuary.
Architectural Gems
The highlights of the interior include the Marble Gallery, featuring reliefs by Domenico Parodi, and the Grotesque Hall, decorated with whimsical paintings inspired by ancient Roman excavations.
The transition between the palace and the manicured Baroque gardens is seamless, reflecting the harmony between architecture and nature that defines the entire Belvedere complex.
