Schwarzenbergpark, Public park in Neuwaldegg district, Vienna, Austria.
Schwarzenbergpark is a sprawling landscaped garden on Vienna's northern edge, spreading across 80 hectares along Neuwaldegger Street between Höhenstraße and Holländerdörfl. The park features wide pathways, small ponds, and naturally grown forests that create its relaxed atmosphere.
Count Lacy created this as one of Austria's first landscaped parks in the 18th century before the Schwarzenberg noble family took it over. This aristocratic connection shaped the grounds and their character for generations afterward.
The wooden buildings at the hilltop, known as Hameau, show how people lived and built their homes in earlier times. Walking through this area, visitors can observe the traditional construction methods that shaped this part of Vienna.
The park connects easily to Vienna's public transport network via tram line 43 at Neuwaldegg station and offers several entry points throughout its perimeter. These access points link directly to local hiking trails and the nearby Wienerwald forest.
The entrance columns of Schwarzenbergallee bear carved signatures left by Joseph Kyselak, who became known as Austria's first documented graffiti artist during the monarchy. These marks offer an unexpected glimpse into an early form of personal expression on public structures.
