I removed the following from the entry, since it has nothing to do with the Belvedere palace:

On June 7, 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that 88-year-old Maria Altmann, the niece and heir of Gustav Klimt model Adele Bloch-Bauer, could sue Austria in a U.S. court for the return of six Klimt paintings stolen from her uncle by the occupying Nazis in 1938. Kept by Austria after the war, the paintings are currently displayed in the Austrian Gallery in the Belvedere. The paintings include the celebrated "Buchenwald" and "Adele Bloch-Bauer I" and have a current estimated market value in excess of US$150,000,000.

Schloss Belvedere

"Schloss Belvedere" is what it's called, and it has never been a palace, or hof. Vienna has a palace. It would make better sense as Schloss Belvedere. Would there be objections to renamning this article? --Wetman 01:14, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like an advertisement

"...facelift, with the beautiful restored garden already finished..."

The most blatant example, but the entire article has a very advertising quality to it. Hierophantasmagoria (talk) 05:41, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to Belvedere, Vienna. Andrewa (talk) 09:31, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Belvedere (palace) → Schloss Belvedere, Vienna — As a previous comment indicates, Schloss Belvedere is what it is called. "Palace" serves as a suitable description but not the name of the article or the complex. Like a brand name or a street name it should not be translated into its literal English counterparts. --Smf77 (talk) 09:53, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Belvedere, Vienna. Its own website calls it the Belvedere, not the Schloss Belvedere. And there are also palaces called the Belvedere in Warsaw and Potsdam. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:26, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Belvedere, Vienna per Necrothesp. Johnbod (talk) 15:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If one reads the description on the corporate homepage there are actually 2 "Schlösser" (plural form of Schloss), an orangery and gardens that make up the entire ensemble which is referred to then simply as the Belvedere so Belvedere, Vienna may be acceptable.

Picture of the day

The Upper Belvedere, a Baroque palace in Vienna, Austria, part of a four-building complex built as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy. The entire complex was built during a period of extensive construction in Vienna, which at the time was both the imperial capital and home to the ruling dynasty.Photo: Murdockcrc
