Costruito a partire dal 1712 da Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt come residenza del Prince Eugene of Savoy, il Lower Belvedere sorge ai piedi dei giardini del Belvedere. Le sue sale di rappresentanza barocche, tra cui la Hall of Grotesques, la Marble Gallery e il Gold Cabinet, si affiancano agli spazi espositivi dell'Orangery e delle Palace Stables, dedicati alle mostre temporanee del museo Belvedere. Nelle ex scuderie è allestita anche la Gallery Middle Ages and Renaissance, che annovera capolavori come il Salzburg Altar di Rueland Frueauf the Elder.
