Belvedere

The Belvedere is a Baroque palace complex in Vienna composed of two palaces (Upper and Lower Belvedere), an Orangery, stables, and formal terraced gardens. Built as Prince Eugene of Savoy's summer residence, the ensemble functions as a unified garden and museum complex with grand façades, terraces, cascades and richly decorated state rooms.

As it stood in 1723

The shape it held in its prime.

A symmetrical Baroque palace ensemble of pale stone façades and rusticated bases, punctuated by green patinated copper mansard roofs and domed pavilions; a central pedimented corps de logis with tall arched windows faces a broad axial garden of trimmed parterres, clipped hedges and a large reflecting basin, linked by terraces, steps, cascades and balustrades, with sculpture and formal geometry extending along the central axis.
