Palais Coburg Vienna is one of Austria’s dream wedding venues. The piano nobile, with the Mirror Hall and Blue, Yellow and Family Salons, provides a magnificent setting for up to 40 people in a single room. Or, if you are looking for a smaller, more intimate ceremony, the suites offer an almost endless range of possibilities. For anyone who would prefer to tie the knot in an open-air ceremony, the Terrace, private garden and the terrace of one of the suites all provide a magical back-drop. Deep underground, the atmospheric rooms that once formed part of the old medieval city walls are an ideal choice for couples interested in a more unusual setting.
Between 1840 and 1845, Palais Coburg Vienna was built by Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha atop the Braunbastei (Brown Bastion), a part of the Vienna city defences dating to 1555.
