Set in a natural garden hollow inside the 32-hectare arboretum of historic Schloss Grafenegg—planted with over 2,000 exotic 19th-century conifers, giant sequoias, and lotus ponds at the gateway to the UNESCO Wachau Danube Valley and Kamptal vineyards—the Wolkenturm rises like a futuristic land-art sculpture whose acoustic canopy reflects the rustling park trees and stars.
