Palais Lobkowitz

A bit of background information on this splendid palace that has been recently renovated: It was built end of the 17th century and is a fantastic example of baroque architecture in Veinna.

The Lobkowitz family, a noble family from Bohemia, dedicated their life to music and theatre - for generations already... The most important composer to spend many years living here and performing his work here was Ludwig von Beethoven - which is why the Palais′s ceremonial hall is now called 'Eroica-Saal' in honour of Beethoven′s third symphony - truly spectacular!

If you are not really into theater - just have a look from the outside and a peek into the inner courtyard and the staircase - you will be impressed!
