Schönbrunn Palace is one of the most important Baroque palatial complexes in Europe. Since it was hived off from state administration in 1992 the funds for the upkeep and revitalisation of the palace have derived exclusively from income generated by its operating company, the Schloss Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H. (SKB). Since its foundation, the SKB has increased turnover continuously and has made this World Cultural Heritage Site Austria’s top tourist attraction.
