Palais Kaunitz-Wittgenstein, Heritage palace in Laxenburg, Austria.

The three-story Baroque palace features symmetrical wings, ornate stonework, and grand halls decorated with neoclassical elements throughout its interior spaces.

Constructed between 1698 and 1703 under Dominik Andreas I. von Kaunitz's commission, the palace underwent multiple ownership changes before becoming part of Austria's protected monuments.

The palace interiors contain frescoes painted by Joseph Pichler, reflecting the artistic preferences and social status of Austrian nobility during the 18th century.

The palace currently houses the International Anti-Corruption Academy, which leases the building from the Austrian government for educational and administrative purposes.

Prince Nikolaus II Esterházy transformed the palace into an art museum in 1808, displaying his extensive collection within its refined halls.
