The Palais Auersperg is a Baroque jewel in the heart of Vienna. Built between 1706 and 1710 by Fischer von Erlach and Hildebrandt, it was the scene of aristocratic culture, lavish celebrations and political encounters for centuries. Personalities such as Christoph Willibald Gluck, Empress Elisabeth and Emperor Franz Joseph gave the house its splendour. It also made history as a film set – for example in the classic film The Third Man.
Today, we continue this legacy with an event team driven by a passion for extraordinary experiences, transforming every occasion into something truly special. With sensitivity, professionalism and attention to detail, we combine imperial elegance with contemporary event culture.
