, 264 years ago, six-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart enchanted the Habsburg family 🎵👑

On 13 October 1762, "Wolferl" and his ten-year-old sister Maria Anna "Nannerl" performed for the imperial family in the Hall of Mirrors at Schönbrunn Palace. 🎻 Maria Theresa, Franz I Stephan, their daughter Marie Antoinette and twelve archdukes and archduchesses listened to their performance on the keyboard and violin.

Describing the visit to the court in a letter to his wife, Mozart’s father Leopold wrote about his son: “Wolferl sprang onto the Empress’s lap, flung his arms around her neck and kissed her heartily.“ 😇

🌍👧 Today is International Day of the Girl Child!

On 11 October, we celebrate International Day of the Girl – a day to amplify girls’ voices around the world and remind us that equal opportunities are still not a given.

In 2026, the focus is particularly on every girl’s right to a childhood in which she can shape her own future. Every girl should have the opportunity to learn, develop freely, make her own decisions and shape the future on her own terms. 💪💕

💡 The Schönbrunn Group is also making a bright statement on International Day of the Girl: our sites are illuminated in vibrant pink as a symbolic gesture to raise awareness of the rights and opportunities of girls around the world.

🤝 Together with Plan International Österreich​, we stand for a future in which every girl can forge her own path.

Schönbrunn and horses – a connection with history! 🐎👑 Empress Elisabeth was an enthusiastic rider and as early as 1946, Schönbrunn played host to a show jumping competition.

80 years later, the world’s top show jumpers returned to Schönbrunn – this time to the Courtyard of Honour, transforming this historic setting once again into a spectacular stage for international equestrian sport.

The sound of horses at Schönbrunn brings the past a little closer 🐎

Step into the Horses Room at Schönbrunn Palace – a room filled with horses and history 🖼️ The paintings in this room are among the oldest elements of decoration at Schönbrunn, dating from between 1720 and 1730.

Twenty horse portraits painted on copper panels, together with four large-scale paintings of the imperial stud farms by Johann Georg von Hamilton, fill the room.

💡Interesting fact: In the nineteenth century the Horses Room served as a dining room. That is why a festively decked table is on display here, faithfully copying a view of the room dating from the middle of the nineteenth century❓️Question: Who do you think was allowed to eat here? Leave a comment.

Longines Global Champion Tour 2026
Inside Schönbrunn, the Horses Room is adorned with historic horse portraits, offering a glimpse into the equestrian world of the court. Outside, from 24 to 27 September, the Longines Global Champions Tour takes place at the Parade Court Schönbrunn Palace.
