Leopoldskron Palace is a Rococo masterpiece set on the shores of Leopoldskroner Weiher, a small lake reflecting the fortress-topped Festungsberg behind it. The palace served as the exterior of the Von Trapp family home in the 1965 film The Sound of Music.
Built in 1736 by Prince-Archbishop Leopold Anton von Firmian. Director Max Reinhardt purchased and restored the palace in 1918, making it a salon for European intellectuals. After his exile in 1937, it was confiscated by the Nazis. Today it functions as a hotel and conference centre.
