Mayerling Castle, Hunting lodge in Lower Austria
The castle features Renaissance architecture and includes a church built on the site of the former royal bedroom within the Vienna Woods region.
Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria and Baroness Mary Vetsera died at Mayerling Castle in 1889, leading Emperor Franz Josef to convert it into a monastery.
The Carmelite monastery maintains regular prayer services and houses exhibits about the Habsburg dynasty and the events of 1889.
The castle provides guided tours throughout the year, and visitors can access the site using the NÖ-Card for free admission without reservations.
The original bedroom where the tragic events occurred was demolished and replaced with a church, while Maria Vetsera rests in the adjacent cemetery.
