The palace and park complex was erected at the beginning of the 17th century and rebuilt in a Baroque manner in 1727. After the fire of 1818, it was practically rebuilt, based on the calm neoclassical style. "Mirabelle" in translation from Italian means "beautiful". The palace was erected for the secret wife of Archbishop von Raithenau, after his deposition until the 19th century, other Salzburg archbishops lived here. Later the complex was handed over to the city authorities.

We never went inside the palace. My partner was only interested in the gardens, as this is where The Sound of Music was filmed. The gardens are beautiful with lots of benches to sit and relax, admiring the view.

During my visit to Salzburg in 2018, I had the pleasure of exploring the exquisite Mirabell Palace and its enchanting gardens. This magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site left me utterly captivated, earning a well-deserved five-star rating.
The mome.. Read more »nt I stepped into the palace, I was greeted by an ambiance of grandeur and elegance. The intricate architectural details, stunning frescoes, and ornate marble halls whispered tales of a bygone era. The palace's historical significance, as a backdrop for cultural events and diplomatic affairs, added a sense of depth and intrigue to my experience.
However, it was the Mirabell Gardens that truly stole my heart. An oasis of serenity amidst the bustling city, the meticulously manicured gardens offered a symphony of colors and fragrances. I found myself strolling along the perfectly aligned pathways, marveling at the vibrant flowerbeds, enchanting sculptures, and the symmetrical beauty of the Pegasus Fountain. Each corner revealed a new hidden gem, be it the Rose Garden or the fragrant Orangery.
The garden's historical significance, as the setting for the iconic "Do-Re-Mi" scene from the movie "The Sound of Music," added an extra layer of joy and nostalgia to my visit. It was a delight to wander through the same paths where Maria and the Von Trapp children once danced and sang.
Moreover, the staff at Mirabell Palace was courteous, knowledgeable, and eager to share information about the history and significance of the site. Their passion for preserving and showcasing the palace's heritage was evident and added to the overall quality of my visit.
In conclusion, my visit to Mirabell Palace and its stunning gardens was a true highlight of my trip to Salzburg. I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting destination to travelers seeking a magical experience that seamlessly blends history, natural beauty, and a touch of cinematic charm. It is truly deserving of a five-star rating and remains a cherished memory of my time in Salzburg.
