  • Palmenhaus

    Do you remember those beautiful girls and boys joining me at Burggarten in August? You saw the Palmenhaus (Palm House) in the background and today we´ll take a closer look.

    This stunning greenhouse was built during the Art Nouveau period in 1901 as part of the Hofburg Royal Palace, designed by Friedrich Ohmann. Today the left wing is used as the butterly house, the central part is a popular café and the right wing is normaly closed to the public and only used for special events and of course for housing plants.

    During the Open House Vien weekend it was possible to visit this part and as I walked by anyway I took the opportunity to visit this “true architectural gem”. And felt in love with all this beautiful little details.

  • Sommerfrische at Burggarten

    In the summertime I regard Burggarten as one of my personal little oases, my summer resort. Situated right in the middle of the city between Hofburg and Albertina it´s the perfect place to lie in the gras or enjoy a coffee at Palmenhaus and forget everything.

    Laid out around 1821 it used to be the private garden of the royal family until it was opened for the public in 1919. And right now I have to share Burggarten with some very special guests. While the Lipizzaner enjoy their holiday at Piber, their little foals are having fun in Vienna.
