Schloss Schönau

Celebrate your event in newly renovated rooms and an exclusive and private setting. Apart from your celebration, there will be no other event. In addition, the legendary Temple of the Night is located in the middle of the extensive castle park, a historic garden grotto that is largely laid out as an underground labyrinth and is unique in the world. The original performance of The Magic Flute is said to have taken place here.

Guided tours of the castle park and the Temple of the Night

Around 1800, Baron Peter von Braun built the Temple of the Night in the middle of the palace park, a unique garden grotto designed largely as an underground labyrinth. Renowned artists such as Salieri and Cherubini composed their own pieces of music for the grotto. The temple is also closely linked to the mythology of The Magic Flute - it is said that the original performance took place here. Immerse yourself in the mystical corridors of the Temple of the Night on a guided tour!

We look forward to welcoming you to Austria's smallest castle hotel soon!
