Guests and festivals
The most glorious residence in Styria took centre stage in Europe many times over the course of history. Here provincial history came face to face with world history.
Imperial wedding, 1673
In the autumn of 1673, the young Prince Johann Seyfried and his magnificent new residence took centre stage in Europe for a short time. On the occasion of his marriage to the Archduchess Claudia Felicitas of Tyrol, Emperor Leopold I had granted Johann Seyfried the honour of becoming the bride's host in Graz. 
Imperial visit to Eggenberg, 1765
After renovations to the Bel Étage had been completed, another Imperial visit from the Viennese Court marked the ceremonial and splendid inauguration of the Eggenberg Palace and its new gardens in 1765. The Imperial family under Franz Stephan and Maria Theresa had, together with the Archdukes Joseph and Leopold, embarked on a journey to Innsbruck where Leopold was to marry Maria Ludovica of Naples and Sicily.
