Graz - Schloss Eggenberg

 
On a hill about 3km/2mi west of Graz stands Schloss Eggenberg (1625-35), a Baroque domain with four towers, fine state apartments containing murals, and rich Roccoco fittings. The walls and ceiling of the banqueting hall, a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, are painted with the signs of the zodiac and the planetary system.

The reception room is known as the Room of the Planets. It includes a suite of 24 rooms decorated by Styrian artist Hans Adam Wissenkirchen.
