► Mirabellplatz | Mirabell Gardens And Palace

The castle of Mirabell was erected starting from 1606 at the behest of the then archbishop of Salzburg, Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, who built it outside the original city walls for the lover Salomé Alt who moved here with his 15 children had by the prelate. The structure was first called castle Altenau. Today some traces remain of this structure in the south-western corner of the structure and in the basement. After the fall of von Raitenau and his isolation in the fortress of Hohensalzburg in 1612 his successor, his nephew Markus Sittikus von Hohenems changed its name to the castle and transformed it into the current castle of Mirabell (from the Latin "mirabilis" = beautiful), intent on completely erasing the memory of his predecessor.

The prince bishop Paride Lodron from 1620 to 1642, during the Thirty Years' War, had the walls of the city redone including also the castle of Mirabell and its gardens where he took up permanent residence and died there subsequently.

With the secularization of the archiepiscopal principality of Salzburg following the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, the castle became the property of the Bavarian ruling house which obtained the area of ​​Salzburg. In June 1818 Ottone di Baviera (later king of Greece) was born at Mirabell Castle.

Subsequently Salzburg returned to the hands of Austria and the castle was annexed among the properties of the Austrian imperial family. In 1866, the castle, together with the Kapuzinerberg, was sold to the city of Salzburg for the sum of 50,000 thalers and the garden was opened to the public as a park.

The French garden of the castle of Mirabell is another of the palace's great attractions, opened on a direct perspective on the Cathedral dominated by the Fortress. Fortunately it was largely preserved by the 1818 fire that hit the castle instead.

When Raitenau was deposed and arrested at Hohensalzburg Castle in 1612, his successor Mark Sittich von Hohenems expelled Salome Alt and her family from the premises. Mark Sittich gave the palace its current name from Italian word mirabile ('amazing'). It was rebuilt in a lavish Baroque style from 1721 to 1727, according to plans designed by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt.

On 1 June 1815 the later King Otto of Greece was born here, while his father, the Wittelsbach crown prince Ludwig I of Bavaria served as stadtholder in the former Electorate of Salzburg. The current Neoclassical appearance dates from about 1818, when the place was restored after a blaze. Archbishop Maximilian Joseph von Tarnóczy resided here from 1851 to 1863. The father of Hans Makart worked here as a chamberlain. Joachim Haspinger (1776-1858), Capuchin priest and a leader of the Tyrolean Rebellion, spent his last year in a small flat.

The palace was purchased by the City of Salzburg in 1866. After World War II it was temporarily used for the mayor's office and housed several departments of the municipal administration.
Marble Hall

The Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace is the venue of the Salzburg Palace Concerts, directed by Luz Leskowitz. It is also a popular location for weddings.
Gardens

The Mirabellgarten was laid out under Prince-Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun from 1687 according to plans designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. In its geometrically-arranged gardens are mythology-themed statues dating from 1730 and four groups of sculpture, created by Italian sculptor Ottavio Mosto from 1690. It is noted for its boxwood layouts, including a sylvan theater designed between 1704 and 1718. An orangery was added in 1725.

The gardens were made accessible to the public under Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. Up to today, it is one of the most popular tourists' attraction in Salzburg. Several scenes from The Sound of Music were filmed here.
