Schloss Hetzendorf
Castle Baroque palace in Vienna, former Habsburg residence
A baroque palace in Vienna’s Hetzendorf district, historically a noble residence and now part of a neighbourhood with gardens and 18th‑century architectural details.
How to Get to Schloss Hetzendorf #
Take Vienna’s tram line 62 or 63 to the Hetzendorf stop, or the S-Bahn to Wien Meidling and a short bus/tram hop; the palace is in the 23rd district (Liesing) and is walkable from local transit stops.
Tips for Visiting Schloss Hetzendorf #
- The palace grounds are adjacent to populated Vienna districts-combine a visit with a tram ride and a stop at a local café for a Sachertorte substitute.
- If interested in the building's fashion-school function, check term times-parts of the complex house classes and are not open to the public.
- Photograph the exterior façades in the late afternoon-the light softens the ochre plaster and brings out stucco details.
Best Time to Visit Schloss Hetzendorf #
Schloss Hetzendorf is most pleasant to visit in spring and autumn when Vienna's crowds are lighter and the surrounding neighbourhood feels more local.
