A Baroque palace complex commissioned by Prince Eugene of Savoy in 1725 and later extended by Empress Maria Theresa. Set on the rolling hills of the Marchfeld plain above the Morava river, the estate comprises the main palace, seven terraced gardens, a working farm, and Europe's largest Baroque pleasure garden open to the public. The interiors are preserved in their 18th-century state, with original ceiling frescoes, period furniture, and a permanent exhibition on Habsburg court life.
