Schloss Leopoldskron is unique. It is a historic monument, yet not a museum. It serves as a hotel for guests from all over the world, but it is also the base of Salzburg Global Seminar, a non-profit organization. For the 75th anniversary of Salzburg Global Seminar, the history of Schloss Leopoldskron has been compiled for the first time with an engrossing set of essays based on the latest academic research. These will guide readers from the construction of the palace in 1736 as a private summer residence by Prince-Archbishop Leopold Anton Freiherr von Firmian through to the history of Salzburg Global Seminar, with a spotlight on Max Reinhardt and his profound impact on Salzburg along the way. The book features a rich display of accompanying images and photographs, some of which are being published for the very first time, and is therefore also intended as a visual history of this extraordinary place.
