Hellbrunn Palace – 30 minutes to explore on your own

Schloss Hellbrunn, located in Salzburg, Austria, was built between 1613 and 1619 by Markus Sittikus von Hohenems, the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg. The palace was named after the “clear spring” that provided its water. Hellbrunn was designed as a summer residence for daytime use, since the Archbishop would return to Salzburg in the evenings, so there are no bedrooms in the palace.

For more than 400 years, Schloss Hellbrunn has been famous for its unique trick fountains. These fountains are one-of-a-kind in the world. The palace’s beautiful setting, with water flowing from Hellbrunn Mountain, makes water a central part of its design. Even today, the trick fountains continue to amaze visitors.

Now, Schloss Hellbrunn is a popular tourist destination where people can enjoy its lovely gardens and fascinating water features.
