Schloss Hof, Baroque castle and museum in Engelhartstetten, Austria.
Schloss Hof is a Baroque castle and museum in Engelhartstetten, Austria, arranged around a central parade courtyard with six wings extending from it. The building displays characteristic Baroque architecture featuring a grand staircase, formal state rooms, and private living quarters that together formed a complete residential complex for high-ranking nobility.
Prince Eugene of Savoy purchased the estate in 1726 and commissioned architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt to transform it from a fortress into a grand country residence. This conversion established it as one of the major Baroque properties in eastern Austria.
The name reflects its role as a courtly residence for the aristocracy. Today visitors encounter furnishings, paintings, and artworks that reveal how Austrian nobility lived and displayed their status during the 1700s.
The castle is accessible from Vienna by regular trains to Marchegg, with a complimentary shuttle service running to the entrance. Comfortable walking shoes are advisable since the grounds include multiple levels and courtyards to explore on foot.
The estate operates a working historical farm that continues agricultural methods from the 1700s. Visitors can observe heritage plant varieties and learn how ordinary people lived on the grounds during that period.
