Emperor Franz Josef Museum

Located on the edge of the Vienna Woods, the museum takes you on a journey through time into Baden's exciting past.

This contrasting period is illuminated in a modern way and made comprehensible to visitors young and old.
Further highlights are the valuable sacral collection, the so-called "Iron Hall", as well as the museum's extensive collection of uniforms and weapons. The exhibits are so varied and extensive that you will always discover new curiosities, even if you visit the museum several times.

The magnificent Art Nouveau building and the most beautiful view of the entire southern Vienna basin are the perfect backdrop for a wonderful and interesting excursion, or to create a dream setting for a wedding!
