Schwarzenbergplatz, Public square in Vienna, Austria

Schwarzenbergplatz is a public square in Vienna, Austria, that runs between the Kärntner Ring section of the Ringstraße and Lothringerstraße. It features a bronze equestrian statue of Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg, on a tall stone pedestal, and a colonnade of pale stone columns with inscribed text.

The area was part of Vienna's city walls until the mid-19th century, and after their demolition in the 1860s, it was developed with grand buildings. The Schwarzenberg Monument was ordered by Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1861 and unveiled in 1867, while the Hochstrahlbrunnen fountain was opened in 1873.

The square is a gathering place for locals and visitors, who come to see the statue and the colonnade. It also hosts events and ceremonies, and the nearby Palais Schwarzenberg and gardens add to the setting.

The square is easy to reach on foot or by public transport, with tram tracks running alongside it. Visitors can explore the area at any time, as it is open and accessible, and should wear comfortable shoes for walking on the paved surfaces.

Under the square flow the Wien River and the U4 underground line, and it was once the site of the Zwingburg, a shelter for homeless people. The square was renamed Stalinplatz from 1946 to 1956 during the Soviet occupation.
