History+

Between 1856 and 1861, the Marmorschlössl was constructed in the Imperial Park of Bad Ischl. Court gardener Franz Rauch created this Tudor-style cottage specifically for Empress Elisabeth. Although it owes its name to the Untersberg marble used, the stone is actually limestone. The Empress used the small palace as a personal retreat for writing poetry, planning her travels, and receiving friends. After the end of the Danube Monarchy, the Marmorschlössl remained in family ownership, as it was inherited by imperial daughter Marie Valerie and her husband Franz Salvator of Austria-Tuscany.
