Schloss Grafenegg is a historically significant castle located in Lower Austria, near the town of Grafenegg. Originally built in the 12th century, it underwent substantial neo-Gothic reconstruction in the 19th century under the ownership of the Habsburg-Lorraine family. The estate transitioned from private ownership to become a public asset in the 1990s and has since been developed into a major cultural venue.

The castle grounds feature an open-air stage renowned for its exceptional acoustics and picturesque setting amidst rolling hills. It regularly hosts performances of classical music, opera, and other events during the summer festival season.
