Description: The Augarten park, which lies outside the centre of Vienna between the Danube Canal and the Danube, was laid out as a garden for the Imperial royal family in the 17th century.
The Garden Pavilion stands on the ruins of an earlier Emperor's garden palace, and it was in this pavilion from 1782 that the famous musical matinées took place. Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert all performed here, as the plaque on the wall of the pavilion testifies. |
