HOF CASTLE: THE MOST VISITED SIGHT IN LOWER AUSTRIA
Hof Palace in the Marchfeld, a magnificent building near the border that belonged to the general Prince Eugene, made such a lasting impression on Empress Maria Theresa as early as 1755 with its spacious terraces and extensive estate that she took over the memorable building from Prince Eugene's heirs and had it run as the Imperial Festival Palace Hof. The splendour of bygone days lives on today: since its successful revitalisation in 2002, Hof Palace has been one of the most visited sights in Lower Austria: History of Schlosshof.
HARD LIMESTONE LEVANTE CREMA IN THE ARCADE OF HOF CASTLE
For this ambitious cultural project, special quality and a sense of historical continuity in the design were the top priorities. In consultation with the Federal Monuments Office, Marchfeldschlösser Revitalisierungs- und -betriebsges.m.b.H. chose a special stone floor for the design of the arcade in the main courtyard. They chose the Levante Crema limestone from SCHUBERT STONE with an antique surface in the slab size 61×40.6cm laid in a half-bundle. Architect Univ. Prof. Manfred Wehdorn confirms that this stone contributes significantly to the authentic appearance of the castle.
HARD LIMESTONE IN THE LOOK OF HISTORIC SOLNHOFEN SLABS IN THE INTERIORS OF HOF CASTLE
The partially broken original floors were replaced by an antique limestone from SCHUBERT STONE in the course of the revitalisation in 2002. The newly produced, tumbled limestone looks deceptively similar to the historic Solnhofen (Kelheim) limestone. The Office for the Protection of Monuments was particularly convinced by the historic-looking limestone.
