The Liechtenstein Garden Palace is a Baroque palace on Fürstengasse in the Alsergrund district of Vienna. It sits at the southern end of the Liechtensteinpark and belongs to the princely family of Liechtenstein. Prince Johann Adam Andreas von Liechtenstein commissioned it after acquiring a plot in the Rossau suburb, and Domenico Egidio Rossi designed it. The shell was finished in 1700.
The palace combines elements of a city and a country residence in a Roman style. Marcantonio Franceschini, Antonio Bellucci, Andrea Pozzo and Johann Michael Rottmayr contributed the interior decoration. The Baroque garden had vases and statues by Giovanni Giuliani, and Joseph Kornhäusel redesigned it in a neoclassical style around 1820.
From 1805 until 1938 the family collection was displayed here. The Liechtenstein Museum ran here from 2004 until January 2012.
