In the 1960s, the Austrian Business Society decided to build a clubhouse and thus the Eschenbach Palace was envisioned, situated close to Vienna's famous boulevard, the Ringstraße. Emperor Franz Joseph I officially opened the building in 1872 and soon it became a unique attraction for the Viennese high society. Not only was the palace used for banquets, events and balls, but it also became famous for being a venue that was used for the presentation of the latest technological innovations. Eschenbach Palace is also known for its stellar acoustics, attributed to the technology used to design its ceilings, and thus it is a popular venue for classical music concerts.
