Miramare Castle Tours and Tickets

Vestige of the Austrian Empire, Miramare Castle is enchantingly located on the Grignano promontory facing the Trieste Gulf on the Adriatic Sea, about 8 km / 5 miles northwest of the most north-easterly city of Italy, Trieste. The Austrian emperor Maximilian of Habsburg (Austrian archduke, and later Emperor of Mexico) commissioned the Viennese architect Carl Junker to build the residential palace between 1856 and 1860, and the castle preserves to this day the furniture and original decorations of the era.Miramare is surrounded by a sea shore park of 22 hectares / 54 acres, characterized by an impressive variety of plants, many of which were specially chosen by the archduke during his travels around the world as admiral of the Austrian Military Marine.

Bei einer individuellen Führung durch das Schloss Miramare können Sie die die einstigen Gemächer von Erzherzog Maximilian (dem späteren Kaiser von Mexiko) und seiner Gattin Charlotte erkunden. Allein die spektakuläre Lage dieses Märchenschlosses mit seinem üppigen Park ist einen Besuch wert - und ich werde Ihnen gerne die tragische Geschichte des in Mexiko ermordeten Erzherzogs und seiner dem Wahn verfallenen Frau erzählen.
