Schloss Hellbrunn was build in 1613- 19 by Prince- Archbishop of Salzburg, Markus Sittikus von Hohenems. It is widely known for water- powered figures and trick fountains that were intended to surprise guests. As you take a tour through the Hellbrunn Castle you probably will get as well. They only person who won’t get caught is your tour guide. He or she knows every spot and the only seats that doesn’t get sprayed by fountains.

Interestingly enough Schloss Hellbrunn does not have a bedroom since Prince- Archbishop intended to stay here only during the day.
