Schloss Leopoldskron, Rococo palace in Leopoldskron-Moos, Salzburg, Austria

Schloss Leopoldskron is a rococo palace built between 1736 and 1740 to plans by Benedictine monk Bernard Stuart for Prince-Archbishop Leopold Anton von Firmian. It stands on the Leopoldskroner Weiher in the Riedenburg district, with a chapel, the Meierhof farm building to the north and a seven-hectare park. After 1760 the original three-storey block with its mansard roof and central octagonal tower was remodelled in Neoclassical style, the tower and roof replaced by an attic storey.

Prince-Archbishop Leopold Anton von Firmian commissioned the palace in 1736 as a summer residence; Bernard Stuart designed it and Johann Kleber made the stucco. After 1760, his nephew Laktanz von Firmian had it rebuilt in Neoclassical style, removing the central tower and mansard roof. In 1918 Max Reinhardt bought it and renovated it for twenty years, adding a library modelled on St. Gall and a Venetian Room.

The palace's name combines the first name of builder Prince-Archbishop Leopold Anton von Firmian with the crown in the Firmian coat of arms. Max Reinhardt, who bought it in 1918, hosted writers and actors here; in September 1930 Carl Zuckmayer developed his comedy Der Hauptmann von Köpenick during a night at the palace. Since 1947 it has hosted the Salzburg Global Seminar.

The site now operates as a hotel and is accessible through overnight stays or arranged visits. Visitors should check access conditions ahead of time, as the main building has restricted availability.

The 1964 film The Sound of Music used the palace grounds as the exterior of the Von Trapp home; the interiors were not filmed here. A World War II bomb that fell in the garden shattered windows, destroyed a library chandelier and left shrapnel marks in the Chinese room's murals and the south facade stucco, traces of which are still visible.
