Habsburg Dynasty Summer Palace - Schönbrunn Palace

Schönbrunn Palace is a Baroque-style art building located in the southwest of Vienna, the capital of Austria. It was once the palace of the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Habsburg royal family. In 1830, Emperor Franz Joseph I, the first emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and husband of Princess Sissi, was born in Schönbrunn Palace, where he spent his childhood and summer youth. In 1848, after succeeding as the Emperor of Austria and the King of Hungary, Schönbrunn Palace experienced another glorious era. It was the favorite and longest residence of Franz Joseph I, until he completed his final journey of life in the palace in 1916. Currently, the surroundings of Schönbrunn Palace are still planted with large areas of Princess Sissi's favorite red roses. Princess Sissi became well-known to the world because of the eponymous film in the 1950s. The beautiful Schönbrunn Palace and Triumphal Arch, which served as the backdrop at the time, were truly unparalleled in their beauty. But to climb to the Arc de Triomphe, there is a really steep slope. The Triumphal Arch of Schönbrunn Palace is a viewing pavilion in the highest point garden of Schönbrunn Palace, built to commemorate the just war waged by the Austrian people for peace. This building, designed by the Austrian royal architect in 1775, was originally used as a restaurant and breakfast room for Emperor Joseph I. At the top of the Arc de Triomphe, the fence is the observation deck. Looking down from the observation deck, the beautiful scenery of the Palace of Fontainebleau and the gardens is spectacular. Visitors are not allowed to take photos inside the Schönbrunn Palace, and the experience inside is similar to that of the Empress Sissi Museum. The main attraction is the opportunity to see what the real palace rooms looked like during that time. At the Schönbrunn Palace, you can also see the simple and diligent life that Franz Joseph I spent here.
