ABOUT THE BURGHAUPTMANNSCHAFT AUSTRIA

Burghauptmannschaft Austria is the Office for the Protection of the Architectural Heritage of the Republic of Austria and is the subordinate entity of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Labor and Economy. In 2000, a legislative reform culminated in the transfer of historic buildings and properties situated in Austria, and beyond, that were owned by the Federal Republic of Austria to Burghauptmannschaft Austria. This comprises the Imperial Palace Vienna, the Federal Chancellery, Belvedere Castle, the Government Building at Stubenring Road (former War Ministry of the Monarchy) and several palaces in Vienna. The Imperial Palace Innsbruck, Ambras Castle, Schloss Hof Castle and the former concentration camp Mauthausen are also part of the list of more than 105 properties which were assigned to Burghauptmannschaft Austria.

One of Burghauptmannschaft’s key duties is to ensure sustainable management as well as sustainable cultural and tourism operations while conserving Austria’s architectural heritage.
