Garden

Situated on the first terrace was the main drive to the palace complex, originally adorned with trophies.

The second terrace is the area upon which the palace is built.

From the third terrace the view opens up towards the far-reaching landscape and Slovakia.

The high bastion wall along the fourth terrace still has its seventeenth-century core and provides the support for the espalier trees.

The outer areas of the fifth terrace are defined today by clipped chestnut and lime-tree avenues.

A hedge and coppice area with field maple, called bosquet, harbours niches with benches inviting strollers to linger.

The last garden terrace covers the most extensive area of the garden; a central crossing path divides it up into four rectangular zones, today consisting of wild wooded areas.

In order to provide a worthy environment for Prince Eugene’s botanical treasures, Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt erected an orangery ensemble consisting of two laterally reversed greenhouses with gardens in front.

There are numerous small kitchen gardens on the estate farm; they are theme-oriented and show off the enormous variety of plants.
