Construït a partir de 1712 per Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt com a residència del príncep Eugeni de Savoia, el Lower Belvedere és el palau situat a la part baixa dels jardins del Belvedere. Les seves sales d'estat barroques, com ara la Hall of Grotesques, la Marble Gallery i el Gold Cabinet, conviuen amb altres espais, l'Orangery i les Palace Stables, utilitzats pel museu Belvedere per a exposicions temporals. Les antigues cavallerisses acullen a més la Gallery Middle Ages and Renaissance, amb obres mestres com el retaule de Salzburg de Rueland Frueauf the Elder.
