About this place
While the Upper Belvedere was for show, the Lower Belvedere was where Prince Eugene actually lived. It housed his private studies and his lavish stables, the Prunkstall. Today, it houses the revolutionary works of Gustav Klimt, whose bold, uncompromising use of gold leaf perfectly echoes the opulent vision of the prince who built this estate.
