Castles

Sent by Anna-Maria in Linz, Austria

Schönbrunn Palace is a former imperial summer residence located in Vienna, Austria. The 1,441-room Baroque palace is one of the most important architectural, cultural, and historical monuments in the country. Since the mid-1950s it has been a major tourist attraction. The history of the palace and its vast gardens spans over 300 years, reflecting the changing tastes, interests, and aspirations of successive Habsburg monarchs

Schönbrunnin linna on Itävallan Wienissä vanhankaupungin ulkopuolella sijaitseva keisarillinen palatsi. Keisarinna Maria Teresia rakennutti Schönbrunnin linnan, ja Habsburg-dynastian keisarilliset hallitsijat käyttivät sitä kesäpalatsina. 

Linnassa on 1 441 huonetta, joista 45 on auki yleisölle. Schönbrunnin linnassa on myös maailman suurimmat ja kalleimmat hevosvaunukokoelmat. Linnan pihalla sijaitsee maailman vanhin eläinpuisto, Tiergarten Schönbrunn. Puistoissa on lisäksi muun muassa ”roomalaiset rauniot” ja Maria Teresan aikaan palatsia vastapäätä korkealle mäelle rakennettu Gloriette-paviljonki. Puistossa on lisäksi yksi maailman vanhimmista palmuhuoneista sekä labyrintti ja sokkelo.
Schönbrunnin palatsi ja puutarhat on valittu UNESCOn Maailmanperintöluetteloon vuonna 1996.



Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria and the capital of the federal state of Salzburg. Salzburg's "Old Town" is internationally renowned for its baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. 

Salzburg was the birthplace of 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In the mid‑20th century, the city was the setting for the musical play and film The Sound of Music.
The Hohensalzburg Castle, literally "High Salzburg Fortress" sits atop the Festungsberg..  It is one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. Hohensalzburg Castle is situated at an altitude of 506 m.

Salzburg on Itävallan neljänneksi suurin kaupunki ja Salzburgin osavaltion pääkaupunki. Kaupunki sijaitsee Salzach-joen varrella Alppien juurella.
Salzburg on tunnettu ennen kaikkea Mozartin syntymäkaupunkina, historiastaan ja barokkiarkkitehtuurista. Salzburgin suosiota matkakohteena on lisännyt erityisesti Sound of Music -elokuva, joka kuvattiin kaupungissa ja sen lähialueilla.

Salzburgin vuoren päällä sijaitseva Festung Hohensalzburg on Salzburgin suosituin nähtävyys. Salzburgin vanha kaupunki on myös valittu UNESCOn maailmanperintökohteeksi.

Ö is for Österreich

Ö is the last letter of Finnish alphabets and it was a little difficult to find any word or  and card starting with Ö, so I  choosed German for the language this time.

Kaiserin Elisabeth von Österreich - Elisabeth, Empress of Austria
Elisabeth of Austria was the wife of Franz Joseph I, and therefore both Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary. She also held the titles of Queen of Bohemia and Croatia, among others. From an early age, she was called Sisi by family and friends. Wikipedia

Sissi,  filmed in 1955
This is one of  my movie star postcards from the 60s.
 Karlheinz Böhm as Franz Joseph I and Romy Schneider as Sissi
 Sissi was the first of a popular series of films showcasing Romy Schneider as the
young Empress Elizabeth.

The young Bavarian princess Elisabeth, who all call Sissi, goes with her mother and older sister Néné to Austria where Néné will be wed to an emperor named Franz Joseph, yet unexpectedly Franz runs into Sissi while out fishing and they fall in love.......

Back to the real world...
