Leopoldskron Palace is one of the most prominent palaces in the Rococo style. Located in the South of Salzburg on the banks of the lake.

The construction of the Palace was conducted at the request of Archbishop Leopold Anton Firmian, who also built the castle Klessheim. The Palace was intended for the family of the Archbishop, construction work was carried out by architect Bernard Patera Stewart, who was a monk of the Benedictine from Bavaria, and as a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Salzburg.

Leopoldskron was built with an octagonal three-story tower in the center. The paintings in the hall and in the chapel were created by Andreas, Rensi in 1740. The painting on the ceiling of the chapel was made by Franz Anton Ebner in 1740, and depicts "the Wedding Atalanta". Lock slightly rebuilt in classicist style in 1763. During reconstruction, was removed to the tower, and the third floor and roof completely redone.

After the death of the Archbishop in 1744, his heart was buried in the chapel of the Palace, while the rest of his body was placed in the Cathedral of Salzburg. The Palace remained in the possession of the family Firmian until 1837, after the death of count Lactancia in 1786. Later the Palace was sold to the owner of the local tyre George Seeru.

The Palace had several owners in the 19th century (including the banker and two waiters, who wanted to use it as a hotel). In 1918 the Palace was bought by the famous Director Max Reinhardt, one of the founders Sahlbergella festival.

With the help of local artisans Reinhardt spent twenty years on repair and decorating work in the Palace. In addition to repairing the stairs of the Great hall, the Marble hall, he created the library and the Venetian room. He used the building for theatrical productions and as a meeting place of writers, actors, composers and designers from around the world.

While Reinhardt was in Hollywood during the Second world war, the Palace was confiscated as a national treasure. Today Leopoldskron is closed to the public, it is privately owned.
