[edit] History
From 1600 to 1658, it was property of Freyung family. Count Ferdinand Bonaventura I von Harrach bought the ruining edifice in the 17th century, which was replaced by a new one designed by Domenico Martinelli in 1696-98. From 1870 to 1970 it housed Count Aloys Thomas Raimund Harrach's picture collection (now in Castle Rohrau). The palace was sold to the municipality of Vienna in 1975.
