A Jewel of Schönbrunn

The Imperial Carriage Museum transports you straight to the glamorous world of the Habsburgs. The magnificent carriages, unique gowns and paintings convey a spectacular and vivid impression of court life, with its coronations and weddings, arduous journeys and high-spirited hunts, children’s games, and funeral processions.

Special attention is paid to “Empress Elisabeth – the Lady Diana of the 19th century.” However, with the help of their carriages you can also trace the eventful lives of Empress Maria Theresa, Emperor Franz Joseph I and (coming as a surprise to many) French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

The highlight is the golden coronation coach (“Imperial Carriage”), which is surrounded by exquisite state coaches, comfortable travelling carriages and miniature children’s coaches used by the Habsburgs. Sisi fans will be delighted to see genuine collector’s items that once belonged to Empress Elisabeth, such as her riding accessories, her personal saddle, and her magnificent original gowns. Car enthusiasts will find the only court motor car still in existence (Gräf & Stift 1914) and the ARTcar, an artistically decorated racing car built in 2014 for the last emperor’s great-grandson Ferdinand Habsburg.
