Schönbrunn's story begins in 1696, when Emperor Leopold I commissioned Rome-trained architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach to build a grand residence for his son and heir, Joseph. Construction stalled after Joseph died suddenly of smallpox in 1711, and the project sat largely unfinished for decades. It was Empress Maria Theresa who, from the 1740s, had court architect Nicolaus Pacassi rebuild and enlarge the old hunting lodge into the extravagant summer palace you see today — a complex that eventually grew to 1,441 rooms, though only a fraction are ever opened to visitors.
Inside, two rooms in particular reveal just how personal this palace was. The Porcelain Room's blue-and-white wainscoting, painted to imitate real porcelain, is set with 213 sketches drawn by Maria Theresa's husband Franz Stephan and their children. The Millions Room goes further still: sixty Indo-Persian miniature collages are framed in gilded rocaille cartouches against polished rosewood paneling — a rococo showpiece so costly it only earned its nickname after the fall of the monarchy.
Outside, the Baroque gardens climb to the Gloriette, a colonnaded hilltop structure Maria Theresa had built in 1775 to commemorate Austria's 1757 victory over Prussia at the Battle of Kolín — its glazed central hall was designed as a banqueting room for imperial celebrations. Beyond it lies Tiergarten Schönbrunn, founded in 1752 and still operating today as the world's oldest continuously running zoo, part of why the whole grounds carry UNESCO World Heritage status.
