Schloss Hellbrunn

  Dating back to the 17th century, Schloss Hellbrunn sits just a few kilometers from the heart of Salzburg, nestled within the scenic Hellbrunn Park. Originally built as a summer residence for Prince-Archbishop Markus Sittikus, this villa is well-known for its whimsical water features and trick fountains, which delight visitors with their playful surprises. The expansive gardens cover approximately 60 hectares, providing ample space for leisurely strolls among various sculptures and enchanting tree-lined paths. Throughout the summer months, particularly in July and August, the fountains operate daily, offering an engaging experience for families and tourists alike. Visitors can explore the lush estate, admire its Renaissance architecture, and partake in guided tours to learn about its fascinating history.
