Nature & Culture

A walk through our 120,000m2 grounds is an experience in itself. But there are also many other attractions in the immediate vicinity. The Kirche zum Heiligen Leopold, an architectural gem of international significance, is only 10 minutes away by public transport. Better known as the Kirche am Steinhof, the church was completed in 1907 and is one of Vienna’s most important Art Nouveau buildings. It features a magnificent altarpiece and colourful, Tiffany-style stained glass windows. 

If you fancy taking a closer look at the greenery of the hills around the church and want to venture up a bit higher than our Schlossterrasse, climb up to the top of the public viewing tower on Gallitzinberg for fantastic views of the city and the Vienna Woods.
