Erguido a partir de 1712 por Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt como residência do Príncipe Eugénio de Saboia, o Lower Belvedere situa-se na parte inferior dos jardins do Belvedere. As suas salas de aparato barrocas, entre as quais o Hall of Grotesques, a Marble Gallery e o Gold Cabinet, partilham o espaço com salas, a Orangery e as Palace Stables, dedicadas às exposições temporárias do museu Belvedere. As antigas cavalariças acolhem ainda a Gallery Middle Ages and Renaissance, onde se destacam obras-primas como o Altar de Salzburgo de Rueland Frueauf the Elder.
