Arenberg Castle, Salzburg

In the 17th century, the castle was purchased by Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun, but in 1695 it became a nunnery of the Ursuline Sisters.

In 1791, gardener Sebastian Rosenegger bought the property and encouraged the building of a new park in the castle grounds.

On 3 January 1842, Eberhard Fugger, a renowned geologist and director of the Salzburg Museum, bought the castle.

In 1861, Princess Sophie of Arenberg purchased the castle and expanded it further by linking the two three-story buildings with a central tower.

From 1912 to 1922, the building served as the home of the writer and philosopher Hermann Bahr and his wife, Anna Bahr-Mildenburg, an opera singer and co-founder of the Salzburg Festival.
