Historic Palaces & Memorials

Salzburg's architectural landscape is defined by its collection of baroque palaces and historic residences. This selection includes the UNESCO-listed Mirabell Palace with its geometric gardens and the Mozart Residence, which houses the composer’s original scores. Beyond the city center, the list features several manor houses along the Hellbrunner Allee, such as Schloss Frohnburg and Schloss Emslieb, alongside the 17th-century Robinighof and the Kriegerdenkmal war memorial in Aigen.
