Today’s Imperial Apartment originally comprised the private chambers of Prince Eugene. In 1773-75 the rooms were altered in appearance and function.

Four rooms on the east side of the palace are devoted to a permanent presentation devoted to the life and career of Prince Eugene of Savoy.

The two-storeyed dome-vaulted chapel has to a great degree kept its original appearance as it was in the days of Prince Eugene.

The appearance of the banqueting hall goes back to its remodelling in the 1770s. Compared with the Baroque chapel, this room is imbued with the austere aesthetics of Neo-classicism. The stucco decorations were executed by Karl Martin Keller.

In 1773 Prince Eugene’s ceremonial apartment was completely remodelled for Maria Theresa. Originally this wing contained Eugene’s battle picture gallery, a conversation room and a ceremonial bed chamber. As apartment for the dowager Maria Theresa, the rooms are kept to this day in an elegant colour scheme of white and grey.

The sala terrena, the hall on the ground floor, forms the link between the architecture of the palace and the natural scenery of the garden.
