Kaiser Maximilian Room

If you want to enjoy a truly royal stay, the Kaiser Maximilian Room is for you. The bed is an original – in the full sense of the word – as it was especially made for Kaiser Maximilian in Mexico, with the brass being brought in from England. On his journey to Trieste he stopped in Graz and spent the night in the custom-made construction. The bed was carefully restored and lengthened, as Kaiser Maximilian was rather short.

Bookable on request.

Wine Room

Archduke Johann was born in Florence on 20 January 1782, the 13th child of Leopold, Grand Duke of Tuscany, later Emperor Leopold II, and his wife Maria Ludovika. Already as a youth he showed great interest in the Alpine countries. In the turmoil of the Napoleonic years he came to Styria. He loved the country and its people.

History, social issues and natural sciences fascinated and occupied him throughout his life. He collected minerals, was an alpinist and hunter, industrialist, patron of the arts, farmer and winegrower. He gave Styrian viticulture - at that time a large and important economic factor in the region with around 35,000 hectares - an estate to try out. Here, in 1854, his agrarians cultivated 425 different grape varieties to see what results the grape juices could achieve.

This room is dedicated to Archduke Johann's Tuscan roots and his fascination for viticulture.
