Desert House Schönbrunn

Discover an unexpected oasis in the heart of Vienna at the Desert House Schönbrunn, or “Wüstenhaus Schönbrunn.” This unique greenhouse, part of the historic Schönbrunn Palace complex, offers insight into the world of desert flora and fauna. Once a tropical conservatory, now it has been transformed into a sanctuary that replicates arid environments from around the globe. Visitors can encounter an array of cacti, succulents, and rare desert plants, alongside creatures that have adapted to survive in harsh conditions.

The Desert House Schönbrunn presents a striking contrast to the lush palace gardens, and shows how life can thrive even in the most challenging environments. This hidden gem in Vienna shows a beauty of desert ecosystems.

The Desert House Schönbrunn creates a distinctive atmosphere, sharply contrasting with the vibrant gardens outside. As we explored the Desert House, we were impressed by the variety of cacti and succulents, each with its distinct shape and color. The environment is designed to mimic natural desert conditions, enhancing the authenticity of the visit. Informative displays and interactive elements engage visitors of all ages, and makes it an excellent destination for families and plant enthusiasts.

Beyond plants, the Desert House emphasizes the importance of conservation and sustainability in preserving these unique ecosystems.
