Host memorable events in Austria’s castles, churches, and palaces

Looking for an extraordinary venue that exudes imperial charm and adds a touch of grandeur to your next event?

Look no further than Austria’s treasure trove of magnificent palaces, castles, and churches. Surrounded by ancient walls and timeless elegance, every event becomes an unforgettable experience.

Enchanting settings for special occasions

From opulent palaces and castles to imposing fortresses and century-old churches and monasteries, Austria is home to a wealth of cultural treasures and historic landmarks. Far from only being exciting sightseeing destinations, however, many of these iconic sites also double as exceptional event venues.

The iconic Schönbrunn Palace, for instance, is not only one of Vienna’s most important cultural assets but its splendour could also serve as the backdrop for your next event. Events with a touch of royal flair can be hosted in the imperial state rooms of the Albertina — the former Habsburg residential palace —, in the Orangery of Esterházy Palace, and in the elegant banqueting halls of Forchtenstein Castle.

Venues with a spiritual background also make for an excellent choice, regardless of whether or not your event has a religious focus. Places of worship such as the Minorite Church in Krems, Gurk Abbey, or Freigut Thallern offer a unique blend of refined ambience, fresh inspiration, and soothing tranquillity, making them ideal settings for any event.
