Once the retreat of the imperial family, Schloss Wartholz is now a favourite meeting place for culture fans of all genres. Outstanding artists enjoy the flair of this location just as much as the audience itself.
The historic location with its picturesque park in the middle of Vienna's local mountains invites you to immerse yourself in the world of music and culture away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In the style of earlier salon concerts , this is an opportunity to experience outstanding artists in an exclusive setting. The events take place either in the rooms of the castle, in the park in the open air, in the orangery and, last but not least, in the so-called literary salon .
The season will kick off with three summer concerts, some of which, like the weekly summer cinema , will take place in the open air in the palace park. In the season from autumn 2025 to summer 2026, top-class concert cycles are on the programme: chamber music with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, soloist concerts with exceptional artists such as Julian Prégardien, Lukas Sternath and Raphaela Gromes, as well as the classical music café hosted by Wilhelm Sinkovicz. There are also salon concerts and a children's programme. To round off your cultural experience, the café-restaurant in the orangery of the castle nursery offers a specially created culinary programme.
