Visit an Empress' home |
Lainzer Tiergarten (Lainzer Tor) Vienna 1130 |
To the west of the city lies the delightful Lainzer Tiergarten, a large park-cum-animal reserve where the famous Lippizaner horses spend their summer holidays. In this rural idyll, Franz Josef had the Hermesvilla summer house built for his unhappy wife, Empress Elisabeth, the Princess Diana of her time. Constructed between 1882-86, this rather gloomy house did little to cheer up the depressed Empress and she rarely stayed there. Today, exhibitions are occasionally held on the grounds here, and there is a pleasant café to rest after a walk in the woods. Review © 2009, Wcities |
