Atop a hill just three kilometers west of Graz's city center stands Schloss Eggenberg, a stunning 1635 Baroque palace with four large towers, fine state apartments, and rich Rococo fittings.
Interior highlights include the walls and ceilings of the banqueting hall, a masterpiece of Baroque architecture richly painted with more than 600 superb works, including the signs of the zodiac and the planetary system.
This theme is continued in the Reception Room, known as the Room of the Planets, part of a suite of 24 staterooms decorated by Styrian artist Hans Adam Weissenkircher.
