Austria · 17th century
The Gartenpalais Liechtenstein (eng.: Liechtenstein Garden Palace) is a baroque palace on Fürstengasse in Vienna's 9th district, Alsergrund. The palace is owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, rulers of Liechtenstein. It sits on the southern end of the Liechtensteinpark.
Until 2011, the palace was home to the Liechtenstein Museum. The building was renamed "Gartenpalais Liechtenstein" to distinguish it from the Stadtpalais Liechtenstein in the Innere Stadt.
