An Afternoon Stroll in the Gardens

Schloss Eggenburg is a 17th century palace and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace is known for it’s symmetric, astronomical based building and gardens. We often went for a stroll in the lovely gardens because the palace was very close to where we lived. Here are a few photos from our various garden meanderings.

Rose Gardens of Schloss Eggenburg
  • Peacock on a pillar
  • Formal Garden Fences
This is the gate that separates Schloss Eggenburg from the Graz International Bilingual School where are children attended. It is this fence that the peacocks hop over to enter the schoolyard!
Resting under a shady tree!
The Schloss has upwards of 25 peacocks and peahens that meander the gardens.
The Gardner’s House sits at the back of the garden and dates from the early 1700’s.
Lovely Garden Path
A Secret Garden
I love how it’s a John Deere tractor that takes care of the palace gardens!
The neighborhood surrounding the Schloss is full of lovely 19th century homes. This one was our favorite.
