Mirabell Palace was originally built in the early part of the 17th century, by the Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau who named it Altenau Palace. It was built for his mistress Salome Alt who bore him 15 children, ten of whom survived. The successor to von Raitenau, Archbishop Markus Sitticus von Hohenems, renamed the castle Mirabell.
It was renovated in the late 18th century in the baroque style and the beautiful baroque gardens are thought to be among the best in the world. Good news is that these days the complex is available for weddings and is genaerlly open to to the public. Admission to view is free.

Directions: On the opposite side of the Salzach to the Dom and Hohensalzburg
