Renaissance Origin
The Royal Garden was established in the 16th century by Emperor Ferdinand I, making it one of the oldest and most significant Renaissance gardens north of the Alps.
Queen Anne's Summer Palace
The garden is home to the stunning Queen Anne's Summer Palace (Belvedere), a pure Italian Renaissance building commissioned by Ferdinand I for his wife, Anne Jagiellon.
The Singing Fountain
One of the garden's most unique features is the Singing Fountain, cast in 1568. Its bronze basin produces a distinct, bell-like sound when water drops onto it, especially when listened to closely.
Historic Exotic Plants
The Royal Garden was historically renowned for its collection of exotic plants, including citrus trees, which were housed in its impressive Orangery, a testament to Renaissance botanical interests.
