Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Schloss Hof is a palace located in Marchfeld, Austria near the border of Slovakia. It once belonged to Prince Eugene of Savoy who purchased it late in his life in 1726. He had it enlarged in the Baroque style by the architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt in 1729, and used it as an elaborate hunting lodge. He left it to a niece in his will, and it was later purchased by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and became part of the imperial estates. The castle was built in the 1620s to the east of what was then the medieval fortress of Hof.
Deutsch: Schloss Hof ist das größte der sechs Marchfeldschlösser. Es liegt östlich von Wien in der Ortschaft Schloßhof in der Marktgemeinde Engelhartstetten im Bezirk Gänserndorf in Niederösterreich, unweit der March, die die Grenze zur Slowakei bildet, und ist weithin sichtbar auf einer Geländekante der Flussterrasse angelegt. Das Schloss wurde in den 1620er Jahren östlich der damaligen mittelalterlichen Feste Hof errichtet. Nachdem Prinz Eugen von Savoyen die Anlage 1725 erworben hatte, baute er sie zu einem repräsentativen Landsitz aus. 1755 kam das Schloss in den Besitz von Österreichs Landesherrin Maria Theresia.
