The story of Schönbrunn Palace
Schönbrunn was rebuilt as a Baroque summer residence for the Habsburgs and transformed under Empress Maria Theresa in the 18th century. It has 1,441 rooms, of which around 40 can be visited.
The gardens climb to the Gloriette, a colonnaded pavilion with views over Vienna. The park also contains the world's oldest zoo, founded in 1752. Schönbrunn is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
