As the number of Salzburg Medical Seminars increased the board began searching for a venue that could accommodate seminars, foundation offices and provide sufficient space for new programs. In August 2001 the Salzburg Stiftung purchased Schloss Arenberg, a 3,000 qm, 19th century palace within walking distance of the city center.

In May 2005, renovation was completed and Schloss Arenberg began operating as a state-of-the-art conference center for the Open Medical Institute's (OMI) Salzburg Medical Seminars (SMSI) and as headquarters for the Salzburg Stiftung.

Each year in August, during the Salzburg Music Festival members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra reside at Schloss Arenberg and conduct master classes for young musicians from all over the world. Members of the VPO also support a children's music camp, directed at English and German speaking children from Europe and the United States during the Salzburg Music Festival.
