Palais Schwarzenberg, Baroque palace in Landstraße district, Vienna, Austria.

Palais Schwarzenberg is a Baroque garden palace in Vienna's Landstraße district, built from 1697 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt and completed in 1728 with alterations by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and his son Joseph Emanuel. Its pale grey facade has a curved projecting central bay above three round-headed arches on columns, with recessed glazed panels, yellow horizontal bands, and wings of rectangular windows and triangular pediments under a red-tiled roof.

Construction started in 1697 under architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt and was completed in 1728 by Johann Fischer von Erlach. The building underwent several modifications as it passed through different noble families over the centuries.

The palace's Marmorgalerie, a marble gallery, is among its largest interior features. The building is closed for refurbishment, so the gallery cannot currently be visited; it is known from its role in the palace's event use and from the 1987 James Bond film The Living Daylights, in which the palace stood in for a hotel.

The palace is currently undergoing restoration work, with its architectural features and formal gardens being carefully preserved. It is best to check current opening times before visiting, as renovation work is ongoing.

The garden's water features were powered by a "Feuermaschine" built by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, considered Vienna's most notable technical sight in the 18th century. Parts of the garden furnishings survive, including a Raptus group and Four Seasons by Lorenzo Matielli (after 1712) and garden vases by J. B. von Erlach. A giant sequoia in the grounds has been a protected natural monument since 1959.
