Baden

The Baden casino was opened on 12 April 1934 in the Kurhaus as the first year-round casino belonging to what was then known as Österreichische Spielbanken (today: Casinos Austria).

During the Second World War the casinos were closed. In 1968 the casino moved to the Kongresshaus. Beginning in 1977 Casino Baden was renovated multiple times and in March 1995 reopened as the biggest casino in Europe with the congress and event centres.

Grand Casino Baden has always been an establishment of art & high-profile personalities. In addition to high-ranking and well-known politicians and guests of state, numerous famous people such as Naomi Campbell, Harald Junke, Sonja Kirchberger, Christian Kohlund, Uschi Glas, Lotte Tobisch, Karl Spiehs and Christine Kaufmann have been welcomed at the casino.
