Schloss Hetzendorf, Baroque château in Meidling, Austria.

The palace features a central building with two symmetrical wings, decorated façades, and classical architectural elements from the late 17th century.

Built in 1694 as a hunting lodge for Count Sigismund von Thun und Hohenstein, the château underwent extensive modifications under Empress Maria Theresa in 1743.

The palace contains a chapel with ceiling frescoes by Daniel Gran and a Japanese room influenced by François de Cuvilliés' designs.

The château now functions as a fashion school and can be reached via public transportation from central Vienna's main stations.

During a smallpox epidemic in 1762, the palace served as a medical facility for children, demonstrating its adaptation to public health needs.
