 Belvedere Palace actually consists of 2 palaces situated in a beautiful park area. Palace was built for Prince Eugene of Savoy by famous architect of the Baroque era - JL von Hilderbrandt. In the past the palace was located outside of the main city of Vienna but nowadays it is not very far from the center of the city. Internal architecture and design are typical for Rococo style.
Hofburg Castle is medieval building but nowadays only small part of it show that. The castle was extended to have residence when the power of Habsburgs increased and that is one of the reasons why you may find very different architectural styles in it.
