Vienna is so rich in historical sights that the head is spinning. The former summer residence of the Habsburg dynasty - Schö nbrunn Palace, one of the most visited places in the Austrian capital, where the spirit of Maria Theresa and Napoleon still hovers.
In the 14th century, this place was occupied by the lands of the monastery, called Kattenburg. According to the legend, in 1614, during another hunt, Emperor Matthias Kaiser discovered “beautiful springs” here, as he put it, in the original - “Schonnen Brunnen”, which led to the name of the palace.
The castle was built for a long time, but later it was acquired by Charles IV, who gave it to his daughter Maria Theresa. After the death of Mary, no one lived in the castle for a long time, but the residence impressed Napoleon very much, and when the commander visited Austria, he stayed at this estate.
Now this baroque residence is protected by UNESCO.
Anyone who wants to walk through the corridors of the great palace, where a noble dynasty used to live, can now do so.
