Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria (Italian: Luigi Salvatore Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Battista Dominico Raineri Ferdinando Carlo Zenobio Antonino, German: Ludwig Salvator Maria Joseph Johann Baptist Dominicus Rainerius Ferdinand Carl Zenobius Antonin; 4 August 1847 – 12 October 1915) was an Austrian archduke of the House of Habsburg.

Much of what was his property now belongs to the American actor Michael Douglas, notably the Moorish style palace 'S'Estaca' that Ludwig converted from a ruined old manor house.

He was the second cousin of Emperor Franz Joseph, of the ruling House of Habsburg-Lorraine, the fourth son of Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany.

Falling in love with the clear air, water and dazzling blue skies of Mallorca it was to become his base and home for the remainder of his life.

[citation needed] When the First World War broke out, in 1914, the Emperor of Austria ordered Ludwig Salvator to leave Mallorca, and in 1915, he died at the family castle of Brandeis-Altbunzlau, in Bohemia.

In his will he designated Antonio Vives y Colom –his personal secretary, collaborator and trusted man, whom he met in Mallorca, and who accompanied him from 1872 until his death– and his children as his heirs.
