Schloss Eckartsau

Eckartsau Castle made world history in 1918: the last Austrian imperial couple, Emperor Karl and Empress Zita, spent the months before their departure into exile here. The daily castle tours tell of these moving moments. The palace surprises visitors with its exceptionally well-preserved condition and lovingly furnished interior, which gives the impression that the emperor has only just departed.

TIP: The Wild°Wechsel national park exhibition not only makes you want to take a walk through the Au, but also allows you to trace the history of this landscape back to the 19th century. Discover the habitat and find out why the white-tailed eagle would be suitable for the job of a pilot and which animal would fit the job profile of a lifeguard or detective.
