The history of the Mirabell Park is connected with a rather spicy love story. So, there lived the Archbishop of Salzburg, Wolf Reitenau. And although he was a person of the church, and according to the church rules of that time, it was not supposed to have beloved women, the archbishop was, it seems, above the laws. In 1606, on his orders, a luxurious palace was built as a gift to the lady of the heart, Solomeya. And the beauty, who was deeply moved, in a fit of gratitude, gives birth to 15 (!!! ) children to the archbishop.

The Mirabell Park itself was laid out in the classical form of Baroque park architecture and opened to the public in 1854 by Emperor Franz Josef. Today the park is one of the most popular places in the world for wedding ceremonies. Entrance to the garden is free.

Advice. The best view of the Hohensalzburg fortress and the old town opens from the garden balustrade, which is located behind the Pegasus Fountain.
