Obviously modeled on Versailles, it sometimes surpasses and sometimes falls short. The rooms are simply sumptuous. I do not know when I have seen so much gold leaf. The tour is quite extensive and this time, the self-guided tour focuses on Empress Maria Theresa because it was given to her and she used it extensively.
However, those who know me will not be surprised that I enjoyed the gardens best of all. These are just a few of the images I saw and fewer still that I captured. A rose covered archway 50 meters long.
The formal gardens.
There is a temporary band shell set up for a concert tonight. This obstructs the giant fountain of Neptune.
At the top of the hill behind the gardens is Gloriette, and the name is not an exageration.
