Hellbrunn Palace and Garden, Salzburg, Austria


Places visited in Austria




Hellbrunn Palace or Schloss Hellbrunn in German is of palatial size built by the then Prince-Archibishop of Salzburg in 1613~1619.  This early Baroque villa was meant for a day residence by the Archibishop and latter returned to Salzburg in the evening  Apparently, there is no bedroom in this palace.

Not only we learned history inside the castle, we got to unwind and took a deep refreshing breath at its spacious green landscaped.  For those Sound of Music movie fans, the famous Gazebo or the Pavillon where the Sixteen going on Seventeen was sang and danced, was moved in Hellbrunn from Leopoldskron for many years now.  It is locked though for some reasons.

We are very lucky this place is now open to public.  In the earlier years, it was reserved only for  the Archibishop-Prince and his guests.

Entrance to the palace is covered by the Salzburg Card
