"A walk in the woods" Austria Trend Schloss Tip by iandsmith

Thus inspired, I, too, put on my hiking shoes (actually my only shoes but, hey, they worked) and headed through the pathways indicated by gaps in the trees. What a place. Great food, good rooms, fantastic park outside the door.

Unique Qualities: I should explain here that there is a difference in prices quoted. The reason for that is that I got in at a special rate. When I returned to Wien three weeks later the price had escalated to 115 euros per person. I then tried to get into a cheaper backpackers on the same grounds (the old servants quarters I believe) which are around 40 euros a night but I was disappointed as they were booked out.
History part III -
1887 - The duke died and Wilhelmine offered the property to her relatives and only retained the lands. Her charity won her the title of "Angel or Wilhelminenberg". When she died in 1895 Erzhezog Rainer von Habsburg-Lothringen took over. Between 1903 and 1908 he built a new palais in the neo-empiricist style.
1918 - Used as a sick bay for war victims.
June 27th 1918 to 1934 - Owned by the City Council who used it as a children's home.
1934 to 1938 - Home to the Vienna Boys Choir.
1945 - Partly in ruins, the building remains empty until 1988 when, completely overhauled, the new Gastehaus Schloss Wilhelminenberg opens.
2000 - Austria Trend Hotels take over and start further renovations to increase the quality standard to 4 stars in spring 2003.
