Schloss Schallaburg

This palace is famous not only for its stunning architecture but also for the innovative exhibitions it houses, along with its lovely gardens. A wonderful curio are the 400 terracotta sculptures, completed between 1572 and 1573, the largest of which support the upper-storey arches of the palace. The excellently curated yearly shows are thematically conceived, and can cover anything from world handicrafts to the Beatles.
