Built during the 18th century this 1441 room palace is one of the most important architectural, cultural, and historic monuments in Austria. The history of the palace and its vast gardens spans over 300 years, reflecting the changing tastes, interests, and aspirations of successive Habsburg monarchs. It has been a major tourist attraction since the mid-1950s.
The weather was a comfortable 27 degrees with a shower predicted.
Soon after these photos, the grey sky delivered a gentle rain and we sheltered under the trees for about 20 minutes before the sun returned.
Stunning and amazing to think anyone needed that much bling. The gardens were beautiful, along with many lovely tree lined avenues. There was also a Zoo within the grounds. Separate ticket required.
