History comes to life here!
Thanks to its owners, the picturesque Artstetten Castle is a place where history remains alive. Here, in a fairytale setting, you can experience the fateful years of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and feel transported back to an earlier time as you wander through the gardens and rooms of the castle.
As a visitor, you will learn interesting facts about the multifaceted world of the political thinker, reformer, collector and, above all, family man Archduke Franz Ferdinand. A historic palace park awaits visitors, which is still used and maintained by the family today. The extensive parkland of Artstetten Palace is home to historical monuments from the time of Emperor Franz I, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Archduke Carl Ludwig, such as the idyllic bathing pavilion.
